Learning Designer, VI &
"One of the most rewarding aspects of being a mentor at VMP was the opportunity to use my design skills to help these young women. I was able to create materials that helped them understand complex design concepts and apply them in their work. Not only did I get to use my design skills to make a positive impact, but also taught English to these young women. It was amazing to see their progress and growth over time, and I felt so proud to have played a part in their success."
