In this episode, Bertha Haro discusses the growing need for mentors in K-12 education and for women pursuing STEM fields in college and beyond. She shares her experience in leadership roles in workforce initiatives and academic programs that help launch successful careers. With January being National Mentoring Month, Bertha and her organization, Great Minds in STEM, work with MentorNet to inspire and encourage underserved students and women from K-Ph.D. through mentorship and augmented programs. Mentors are a critical part of the ecosystem that provides a safe space for honest conversations and pushes us out of our comfort zones.
