"I recently took part in my first One Million Mentors (1MM) session at ARK Isaac Newton Academy and had the opportunity to meet my mentee for the first time. This was my first live mentoring experience after completing 1MM's excellent online training and support, which did a great job of preparing me for the role.
My mentee was really engaged and interested in getting advice and support, especially when it came to my science background and life experiences. It was a very rewarding experience to connect with them and meet other first-time mentors as well.
I'm excited about the opportunity to support and guide my mentee over the rest of the year. A big thank you to the teams at 1MM and ARK Isaac Newton Academy for their valuable advice and support.
