“I honestly can not imagine what my life would be like without having such a dedicated, consistent, and compassionate mentor like Davina. Davina has truly become more than my mentor - she is family, a confidant, my trusted advisor, and number one supporter. Davina has been an extraordinary mentor to me for almost 15 years!!! Her constant support, advice and encouragement have been invaluable. When I first met Davina, I needed a lot of guidance with my future plans. Until then, I never thought much about my future. College was something I did not give much thought to. It seemed like something that was inaccessible to someone like me. Davina really encouraged and inspired me to think differently. Through her wisdom and support, I was able to learn how to set goals that I could achieve. Some of my favorite memories to make with Davina are when she shares her personal and professional life experiences and struggles. These conversations have and continue to help me realize not only how similar we are, but that my dreams are not impossible, in fact they are attainable.”
