“In my early stages of learning how to be a professional, getting to work closely under Jodi’s mentorship really helped prepare me for my current supervisor roles. I was able to get first-hand guidance on how to handle tough situations in the workplace and build community through effective team building. She challenged me to not be complacent and helped me find innovative ways to grow.”
