Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I hope students will gain real-world perspective on navigating a career in data, AI, and technology — from breaking into the industry to growing across different roles and companies. I want to help them bridge the gap between academic learning and what employers actually look for, whether that's technical skills like SQL, Python, and cloud platforms, or softer skills like stakeholder communication and problem-solving. I also hope to guide them on career decisions, job searching, resume building, and interview preparation, while sharing honest lessons from my own journey across consulting, big tech, and professional services.

As a mentor, I can support students in the following: 
- Resume review, interview prep, LinkedIn branding
- Career exploration, matching interests and talents with professions and industries
- Student transition from college to first professional role
- Improved communication and interpersonal skills
- Development of leadership skills, confidence, and executive presence
- Expanding a network, building connection, navigating an organization

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

A mixture of in-person and virtual.
