Meet a mentor: Brandi Toliver, NIST senior academic program manager #MentoringMonth

Four people stand together for a group photo. Text reads: "National Mentor Month. Brandi K. Toliver, Senior Academic Program Manager. What challenges did you face in your career? In my career, the biggest challenge I have faced is maintaining composure in stressful situations. In the past, I would become defensive when interacting with individuals who showed aggression. I learned that aggression vs. aggression gets nowhere. Instead, I slow down, ask questions to seek understanding, and stay focused on the task at hand."

First, I, myself, learn new things all the time from people I mentor. Second, creative ideas come out these close working relationships. Third, a tremendous sense of satisfaction to see students grow into excellent scientists. Fourth, we have solved a number of interesting scientific problems and developed good technologies as a result of these mentoring activities."

How would a mentoring program help others overcome challenges similar to ones you've faced? If someone can be matched with a mentor that has a similar background or career path, that can be really helpful. Other working parents gave me great advice and guidance on how to be a productive researcher and an attentive parent."

A man sits next to a computer station and smiles. Text reads: "National Mentor Month. Anthony J. Kearsley, Research Mathematician. How would a mentoring program help others overcome challenges similar to ones you've faced? The most important thing I gained from my mentors and advisors is the notion of problem selection – selecting areas and issues to focus. In my opinion, a mentoring program can help younger staff select problems and approaches."
