Janelle: Rejection Embracer, Mutifaceted Meanderer, Dedicated Mentor Humans of Grad School

Janelle always wanted to help people, specifically in a health care context, but wasn’t fully sure how. After realizing that becoming a doctor wasn’t what she wanted to do, Janelle did, and became, so much more. Now as a researcher with a Masters and soon pursuing a PhD, Janelle faced rejection, met (and networked) with many researchers and friends, and used all the lessons learned from others to inform her experiences. Now, as a mentor, she knows that she has more power than she originally thought - and is teaching others the same.
