mentorship for women in architecture
You Will Prevail
Anik Pearson, Principal at Anik Pearson Architect P.C., Nancy Kleppel, Principal at Nancy Kleppel Consulting, and Angelique Pierre, RA, invite young women in the profession of architecture to engage in conversations with experienced female professionals on a myriad of successful career trajectories. Each event will feature two inspiring women working in architecture and each will speak to a different focus - from starting your own practice, to finding the right type of practice for you, to balancing the profession and family life. In these conversations we will share stories, share tools, provide support and establish relationships among all attendees with the goal of ensuring young women in architecture stay encouraged and stay on course to thrive in the profession.

Mentee Testimonial
I think this time in quarantine is an excellent opportunity to talk more about how to recognize our strengths. I love to hear mentors share what their strengths are, how they realized what they are and how they’ve used their strengths to advocate for and excel in their path. This way mentees can think about this for themselves and prepare themselves to move forward in a deliberate way.
As attendees get to more seminars they make more connections. Whether in person or in a virtual format, the seminar lets attendees act on these connections and engage in dialogue more immediately.
Thank you for being there to hear me out and to walk with me through this situation. I look forward to staying in touch, and as always to the next seminar!
