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?

Eden H. (IN A NUTSHELL)

After changing her major 7 different times, Eden graduated from Northwestern with a degree in Journalism, Psychology, and Entrepreneurship.

While at school, Eden had the opportunity to contribute to NASA research on team dynamics during space missions, which sparked her interest in technology as a catalyst for innovation. This leads her to roles in tech at Apple and Google. In Eden's current job at Google, she supports the growth of venture capital-backed startups as a Startup Success Program Manager.

Entrepreneurship is at the core of Eden's passions. At Northwestern, she founded an events company called Indigo Social, served as a student ambassador for the Farley Center of Entrepreneurship, and participated in 4 different accelerator programs through the school's innovation incubator, where she currently serves as an alumni mentor to female student founders.

At Northwestern, Eden was also the president of Spoon University, head of operations for Women in Business, and a tour guide for Northwestern Admissions, where she now conducts alumni interviews.

Passionate about social justice, Eden has provided crisis hotline support at the National Runaway Safeline and gained valuable experience as a Legal Intern assisting survivors of domestic violence with Order of Protections processes.

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.
