About Marissa

I am a passionate mentor with experience guiding others through learning and personal growth. I have had the privilege of providing mentoring assistance that blended academic support with personal encouragement. In my role, I worked one-on-one and in small groups to help students strengthen study habits, build problem-solving strategies, and approach academic challenges with confidence. I also encouraged personal development by guiding mentees in setting meaningful goals, building independence, and recognizing their unique strengths. I found joy in celebrating achievements, whether it was mastering a new skill, taking on leadership responsibilities, or simply gaining more confidence. As a mentor, I prioritized listening with empathy, fostering open communication, and creating an environment where students felt supported and valued. This experience allowed me to grow as a leader and listener while making a lasting impact on those I guided.
