Mentorship Program
Personalized Mentorship for DPA Students
A one-on-one mentorship session designed exclusively for DPA students who want tailored guidance, honest feedback, and a clear path forward. You’ll walk away with a strategy built around your goals — and the follow-up support to actually make it happen.
Two 45min one-on-one session tailored to your goals, plus four weeks of personal follow-up to make sure you're not just inspired — you're taking action.
As a DPA student, you have access to a mentorship program by our founder – Marina Araujo, that goes beyond quick advice. This is strategic, individualized support designed to move you forward — with a clear roadmap, real feedback, and two weeks of personalized follow-up to keep you on track.
What’s Included?

02
Personalized action plan based on your background and goals
Within 48 hours of your session, you’ll receive a written roadmap with clear, actionable steps. No generic advice — just a strategic guide to help you implement what we discussed, in the right order, at the right pace.
