Why I am available as a mentor for the MCI Mentoring Program

I have mentored people all my life through my clinical dental practice, and as the eldest in the family. I understand the value of guidance, especially for a
multi-dimensional course such as Eu-HEM. It is not a regular course and my experience to multitask through two masters simultaneously, clinical expertise, and knowledge about life, can help someone navigate easier
through this path. In the past three years, lots of new students reached out to me. I believe I can help them further their skills, especially for networking.

My wisdom/my motto

Everything happens for a reason. Learn to think laterally. Everyone has an idea in the shower - be the one, who gets out of the shower, and makes an effort to turn ideas into realities.

When I look back at my time at MCI...

I found my time at MCI enriched with knowledge, through example. The structure of course was designed with the freedom to learn and apply. Apart from the regular courses of EU-HEM, thesis proposal, I felt empowered to pursue the digital badge of Responsible
Management. I found support from teachers and staff alike, and having Siegfried as my thesis supervisor, made me explore beyond the walls of MCI to IARC ( International Agency for Research in Cancer, Lyon). It was a period of learning and growth.
