For Wigglesworth, mentoring is not always
formal. “I will have coffee with young people if they
approach me and want me to be a sounding board,”
she says.

ONE PIECE OF ADVICE
“Once you achieve your postgraduate qualification – in whatever career path that
is – attend the professional learning events that the organisation offers to stay on
top of things. The world is rapidly changing, and it is important to keep learning,
keep fresh and keep relevant.”
