Mentee: Neeha Sohail, MBA
Mentor: Ashley Ojeaga, MPH, MD
I really appreciated how my mentor consistently went above and beyond to support me throughout this process. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, approachable, and genuinely invested in both my personal and professional growth. She always made herself available to answer my questions and took the time to provide thoughtful guidance whenever I needed advice or reassurance.
She played a major role in helping me strengthen my CV, navigate applications, and become more involved in research opportunities. Her willingness to mentor me in so many different aspects of my career development made a tremendous impact on my confidence and growth throughout this experience. Beyond academics and applications, she also welcomed me to shadow her in her private practice, which gave me valuable firsthand exposure and insight that I otherwise would not have had.
What stood out most was how supportive and encouraging she was every step of the way. She created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, learning, and growing, and it was clear that she truly cared about helping students succeed. Her mentorship made this experience incredibly meaningful, educational, and inspiring, and I am sincerely grateful for all of the time, effort, and encouragement she invested in me.
