Shirley Pearson

First-generation students mentor, Los Angeles

  • 🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States
  • Beacon Foundation
  • 2007 to 2025
  • English
For 18 years I've mentored people in first-generation students and recovery. Mostly it's coffee, honest feedback and a lot of listening. Most of my mentees are early in their careers. A few are in their fifties and starting over, and they're some of my favorites. If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.

What gifts mean to Shirley: I'd put gifts toward travel for in-person sessions with students.
