Being mentored is life changing for the mentor and Mentee. This is Hannah’s story.
Ever wondered what it’s like to have someone in your corner, rooting for you, guiding you, and showing you paths you didn’t even know existed? Meet Hannah — a 19-year-old who came through Urban Synergy’s mentoring programme, now studying Finance, Accounting, and Management at university. She’s also the first in her family to make it to university.
But let’s rewind.
Back when she was 15, Hannah had a vague interest in finance but zero clue about work experience or job prep. That changed the day she joined Urban Synergy and met her mentor — Rocio Hayer from Adobe (yes, that Adobe!). Rocio worked in marketing and gave Hannah more than just tips. She gave her confidence.
From helping her refine her cover letters and CVs to preparing her for interviews and building presentations, Rocio didn’t just mentor — she changed a future.
“The best part of the Urban Synergy programme for me was the mentoring,” Hannah says. “It was so insightful speaking one-on-one with someone from an industry I wanted to explore. That real-world advice? It’s priceless.”
Today, Hannah is thriving at university. She’s passionate, focused, and grateful — and she has one simple piece of advice for future mentees:
“Take the chance. You never know when you'll meet someone who opens a door to your dream career.”
So, what’s the best thing about being mentored?
Ask Hannah. It’s the people who believe in you before you even believe in yourself.
