Mentoring areas: 

• During my international trajectory, I have always tried to adapt and absorb the best in every situation. I can mentor others who are moving between cultures (both social and research-wise). 

• Returning to academia after my career break was difficult.  I can share my experience and provide advice to others who are balancing academic progress with family responsibilities.
