Meet your mentee, Eva.

Eva describes herself as determined, resilient, and brave, and she brings a strong sense of purpose to everything she does.

She grew up in the Bronx and speaks Spanish at home. She enjoys watching romance comedies and dramas—Focus and Harley Quinn are among her favorites. Art is especially meaningful to her because it helps her express her emotions, and she also enjoys reading and writing. Music is a big part of her life; she sings, writes songs inspired by Romeo and Juliet, and dreams of one day owning her own record label. In middle school she played volleyball, and she may try softball, but she’s most passionate about creative pursuits like writing, music, and art. Eva thinks constantly about her future and has many possible career paths in mind, including running her own business, entering the medical field to support women, or becoming a therapist because she loves comforting others and building strong relationships.

There are many natural connections between you and Eva. She is artistic, expressive, and curious about storytelling, which aligns closely with your background in marketing, writing, and helping books reach readers.

Eva thinks deeply about her future and wants guidance as she explores different directions, and your experience supporting students through college and career decisions will be especially meaningful. She values building relationships and helping others, which mirrors your collaborative work with young people. She’s excited to learn from you as she explores her goals and develops her creative and academic ambitions.
