Sophie Mirjam Van der Wal

Volunteer mentor with Highland Foundation

  • Since 2007
  • Dutch
I'm a mentor in first-generation students. I've spent my career as an accountant and now give some of that back. 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. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
