“I guess we are all pretty much familiar with the academic world (even though, we surely do not know everything here, either). My driving force for joining the ADA mentoring program was to get in touch with mentors from different working fields, on the one hand by a personal mentorship and on the other hand, by benefting from the experiences fellow mentees are making. I therefore hope to get deeper insights into areas that are not closey related to chemistry and how people found their way to where they are standing right now. I am further very excited to participate in all the different workshops provided by the program such as "negotiation and communication skills, voice and body language, or leadership training", among others. Moreover, we are also offered to undergo a personal profiling - I am curious to learn more about myself and how I can make use of the new knowledge.”
