Sometimes a mentor is just what it takes to get to the next level.
Ask Fiorella Lazarte.
In 2014 she was working as the family literacy manager at the Teton Literacy Center and inching toward an education degree one class at time at Central Wyoming College-Jackson.
Wondering “what else was out there,” she entered Womentoring, a program that pairs female mentors in Jackson Hole with women looking to build their skills, confidence and local network.
“I wanted to find my path in this community,” Lazarte said. “I wanted to challenge myself professionally.”
Though Womentoring is not specifically a career-oriented program, Lazarte’s mentor, Shirley Cheramy, helped her kick into higher gear. Cheramy, she said, coached her on applying to schools and finding scholarships and also suggested she go through the Leadership Jackson Hole program.
