Desiree on mentorship

As a first generation high school and college graduate, and also a Latinx woman, mentorship has been a guiding force in my career. I have an unlimited amount of gratitude to the mentors in my life and I’d like to continue that tradition on the other end of the relationship. I also believe there is so much to be learned in both directions. As a part of Network of Executive Women, I have been guided by my more tenured NEW peers to advance my skills and create lasting professional relationships. I hope to translate all the potential my mentors have seen in me and give that same confidence to someone else.

I’m excited to mentor students on starting their career. I have worked with many entry level employees to develop best practices for communication, organization, email management, systems creation and leadership. I enjoy reviewing resumes and preparing for interviews given my history with recruiting and HR.
