Emerging Talent Specialist | Mantel Group
“I have been a part of Dream Big through Aginic, and now Mantel Group for a few years now and believe that it is not only the students that benefit, but the companies involved and the STEAM community as a whole.
Being a mentor with Dream Big has helped me to continue to promote diversity, and build a supportive network in the STEAM community which compliments our company principle of making things better. It was a privilege to provide guidance and career advice to such driven, passionate women!
At Mantel Group we are passionate about our culture of trust and belonging. By continuously working on our diversity and inclusion we hope to build a more equitable and thriving STEAM industry. “
