Meet Trailblazer Mentee Daphne Zhang

Trailblazers like Daphne Zhang have found success with Trailblazer Mentorship. Daphne was a freelance graphic designer ready for something new.

Through her experiences working with nonprofits and advocacy groups, she knew she wanted a Nonprofit Cloud Consultant role but was unsure how to get there. To create her career roadmap, she applied and was accepted to the Mentor Circle Pilot Program.

Though her original goal was landing a job in the Salesforce ecosystem, Daphne formed unexpected connections with her Mentor Circle peers, who were at different stages of their professional journeys. Daphne credits her mentor, Kate Lessard, with guiding her through the hiring process, as well as her fellow mentees for holding her accountable, sharing their experience and professional goals, and helping her build her network.

Today, Daphne works alongside her mentor at Arkus, one of Salesforce's Premium Nonprofit Partners, on nonprofit Salesforce implementations. On a typical day, she may jump from a call about disaster relief programs to configuring fundraiser seating preferences for an arts organization to a check-in with a family foundation. She learns something new every day, and none of it would be possible without Trailblazer Mentorship.

I encourage anyone interested in a future with Salesforce to apply to Trailblazer Mentorship. My mentor and peers were genuinely invested in my success. This speaks to the greater Trailblazer Community, where a generous spirit and helping hand are always nearby.
