“Mentorship matters to me because I would not be where I am without amazing mentors. Even when I didn’t always see what I wanted to be, I became determined to be what I wanted other girls to see. I want girls to see representation. I want them to see opportunities. I want them to see other girls rooting for them to win. I always tell girls who say they want to be like me: Don’t be like me. Be better than me.”
