To Lucyann, being a mentor means giving guidance and support to help her mentees reach their full potential and excel. She sees herself as a nurturing figure who helps her mentees develop their skills and abilities to become the best version of themselves.

Lucyann’s mentorship experience at YBTT has been transformative, thanks to the program’s support and resources.

She appreciates the continuous support and opportunities for growth that YBTT offers to its members and is grateful to be a part of this community.

For mentees, Lucyann encourages them to remember that it’s okay to stumble and make mistakes. They are all part of the learning process. Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zones, and don’t be afraid to ask for help or guidance when needed. Just remember that there’s no set timeline for success, so keep focusing on your own journey and progress. Believe in yourself, stay positive, and always keep moving forward.

To her fellow colleagues, Lucyann urges them to join her in giving back. Witnessing the success of those we mentor is comparable to the pride of a parent watching their child thrive. So let’s inject our energy into the success of future generations and feel fulfilled in doing so.
