“I would like to nominate my mentor, Gina Mattucci, for ACP Mentor of the Month. Her influence on my career exploration and overall professional growth is immeasurable. As a student veteran approaching my senior year, I faced some considerable anxiety regarding my transition into the workforce. From the outset of our mentorship, Gina offered consistent and thoughtful guidance that enabled me to navigate this pivotal time with enhanced clarity and confidence.
She provided essential support throughout my job search, especially as I began interviewing with various companies. Her comprehensive feedback on my resume improved how I showcased my experience and helped me distinguish myself in a competitive applicant pool. Equally significant, her strategic advice on interviewing, covering how to structure my responses, communicate effectively, and approach each opportunity instilled in me the confidence necessary to perform at my best.
Thanks to Gina’s mentorship, I successfully navigated the interview process and secured an exceptional job early in my senior year. Beyond the concrete outcomes, her encouragement and insights have left a lasting impression on my career approach. I am genuinely thankful for her support and firmly believe she embodies the qualities of an exemplary ACP mentor.”

“I am honored to nominate my mentor, Russell Blaine, for Mentor of the Month in recognition of his extraordinary support during my transition from the Navy.
Russell has been incredibly generous with his time, often dedicating up to three-hour sessions to ensure I am fully prepared for the civilian sector. He has provided comprehensive guidance on everything from tailoring my CV and understanding complex pay and compensation structures to, most importantly, guiding me through deep self-analysis so I know exactly what I should be looking for in a new career.
His help has been absolutely invaluable. Because of Russell’s dedicated mentorship, I feel completely confident and ready for my transition to civilian life. I strongly recommend him for this well-deserved recognition.”
