As a mentor, Eira is thoughtful, observant and kind-hearted. She always has time to listen and gives insightful feedback that helps make any troubles or concerns lighter. From our very first meeting, we clicked as two creative souls looking to share our art and experiences. Eira is a joy to work with, she is an amazing leader that always welcomes ideas from others and jumps at the opportunity to create new and exciting things.

I would not be where I am today without Eira’s support and care. She has helped shape me into the person I am and I can’t wait to continue working with her and paying that kindness and experience forward to others.

Eira was an extraordinary mentor who I could come to for advice in the several months I was working with her. She was always welcoming and a great collaborator. There was never a situation where I felt Eira couldn’t help me with a task, or I couldn’t learn something from one of our meetings.

Eira was an incredible support to me while I was in her mentorship program. She always encouraged me to explore all my passions, and helped me find direction in my career during the tricky and uncertain transition from university to the workforce.

Her passion for people and tireless work ethic are inspirational, and I try to emulate that in my current job too! Thanks a million Eira.
