"My Mentor is Margaret Talbot who is a staff writer with The New Yorker. Margaret is always so kind and thorough in her responses to my questions. Even when I ask her something very vague, she offers as much actionable advice as possible on the topic. She is incredibly generous with her knowledge, resources, and skills and really goes above and beyond to offer help and support before I could even think to ask for it. I feel so blessed to be mentored by Margaret!"
