Mentoring Objectives & Scope

As your mentor, I hope to foster intellectual curiosity and analytical thinking while providing practical guidance in data science and professional development. I aim to help students answer questions about the various career paths so they can pursue careers that are interesting to them. I plan to reinforce the value of data in making business decisions by holding SQL practice sessions. My mentoring style is flexible and student-centered. Sessions are usually virtual sessions for 60-90 minutes every month.

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

100% Virtual
