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.

Sessions are usually virtual sessions for 60-90 minutes every month.
