Mentor 4.0Senior Audit Manager
"My experience as a first-time mentor was truly fulfilling and rewarding. I realized that mentorship is a two-way journey; while guiding my mentee, I found myself learning just as much from her persistence, hope, and remarkable potential.

Being part of her progress was an inspiring experience that I will always value."
The People of INTERSECTION
Get to know some of the incredible young people, professionals and partners who make up our INTERSECTION Community.
Luna Al Ackhar - Mentee 3.0
Reflecting on her INTERSECTION mentorship journey, Luna is grateful for the profound impact it had on her life. Her mentor, Dr. Nada Messaykeh, offered guidance rooted in experience and empathy, supporting her every step and turning their meetings into spaces of growth and trust. With this guidance, Luna landed a new job in sustainable development, gained clarity on pursuing a Ph.D., and began shaping a future research and consultancy initiative. Beyond achievements, the mentorship gave her confidence and assurance in her path. Luna’s advice to future mentees is to embrace the mentorship as more than a short-term boost. The true value lies in the long-term relationship, the guidance, and the lasting confidence it cultivates, making the program a catalyst for both professional and personal transformation.
Dana Khairallah - Mentee 1.0
When Dana joined the Intersection Mentorship Program in 2022, she had just graduated and was at a turning point; uncertain about her path and whether she had the confidence to lead. Through conversations with her mentor, she began to see strengths she hadn’t recognized before, discovering both the leader within her and a new career direction beyond clinical nutrition. The mentorship helped her rethink impact not only as passion and service but also as something that must be emotionally and financially sustainable. With this new clarity and confidence, Dana went on to lead initiatives independently and eventually landed her dream role as Alumni Community Manager at JA Worldwide. For her, Intersection offered more than guidance; it provided perspective, belief, and access to a network that continues to shape her journey today.
