Hi, I’m Jupiter and I’m a Project Leader at WISE Mentoring!
I was born and raised in Southern California, spent a year in England from 2023 to 2024 and then moved to Glasgow to study digital media and information studies at the University of Glasgow. I learned about WISE when I first moved to Glasgow in 2024 and was able to start working with WISE in autumn of 2025 as a Project Leader. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to deliver WISE’s curriculum in a way that is fun and engaging for pupils.
As a Project Leader, during weekly sessions, I work with 8 regular mentors, two groups of 8 children each (one for Primary 6 and the other for Primary 7) and a range of flexible mentors, and we all work together through WISE’s 7-step character mentoring journey. I also assist with mentor training and community events like Family Days, working with Hana, WISE’s Programmes Director; Amy, Community Outreach Director; Lucy, Programme Manager; and Amelia, Fiona and Isla, the other Project Leaders.
I love WISE’s mission of centring young people’s social and character development to help them excel in the rest of their lives. I feel honoured to be trusted with helping children through that journey, giving them a safe space to grow towards eventually becoming the self-assured, curious, caring adults they all can be.
