Loved the opportunity to speak about professional development to an awesome group of young women on the Hill with the Network of enlightened Women (NeW). This photo captured my slide on mentorship which I find to be one of key ingredients to personal and professional growth. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the advice I received along the way from the late Damon Nelson. Also, was a great opportunity to highlight the success of some of my favorite people!
