Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I'm pretty open to whatever Mentees want support with including but not limited to identifying what your passions are, ways to increase your networking abilities, and fine-tuning resume/interview prep. I'm also a good sounding board for any crazy ideas you may have as I find those ones to be the most fruitful for discussions!
