"I'm a data analyst at a SaaS company. I reached out to Sunny as I was looking for a mentor with thorough experience in both product and marketing analytics. I was really impressed with her profile and keen to learn from her. Sunny has been my mentor for over 6 months now, and still going! I've learnt so, so much; from approach and methods for technical analytics problems, to organising my career roadmap. I've walked away from every call feeling motivated and wiser. Sunny encourages me to take a step back when I approach a problem head-first, something I know a lot of us have a habit of doing - I avoid making operational mistakes because I've had a chance to discuss the business problem with someone more experienced than myself. I've confidently taken on so many more challenges as a data analyst, and in turn accelerated in my career. Sunny is so encouraging, so friendly and super supportive. I definitely recommend her mentorship! "

She didn't just focus on getting me any job; she helped me figure out where I wanted to go in the world of data science. Our talks were really helpful. We discussed my skills, what I liked, and what I didn't and through these talks and some exercises, I developed an understanding of what I really want to do. What I loved most about working with her was the support. Finding a job is tough, and there were moments when I felt a bit lost. But Anastasia was always there, cheering me up. She shared so many useful things with me - study materials, tips for interviews, guiding me till the very last step - it felt like having a friend who genuinely wanted to help.
