PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Daria L. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Daria is a graduate from Stanford Class of 2022, where she was a member of the Stanford Women Swimming and Diving Team. As a diver, she was a 3x PAC-12 Champion, NCAA Champion, and 3x Academic All American. She also represented USA on the international stage, where she competed in Italy at the World University Games and in various Grand Prixes across the world.

In the classroom, Daria majored in International Relations with a minor in Human Rights. She pursued her passion in learning history as well understanding current events that focused on crimes against humanity. After graduating from Stanford, Daria took a job as a Private Equity Analyst in San Francisco, where she is focusing on healthcare companies and research. After her 2 year program ends, she will be attending Georgetown Law School and pursue her dream of becoming a human rights lawyer.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. It’s important to get a sense of how someone’s personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT (SO FAR)

Getting accepted to my dream school, Georgetown Law School Class of 2027!
