I can also support with:
* Getting started in the tech industry
* Pair programming
* Building a technical learning pathway

Abby has been a great help to me over the last year now. Our chats are always a good source of insights into what I am doing and what might be missing in my approach.

Abby is a fantastic mentor, and I felt really satisfied with what we covered during our time working together. She was really responsive to the areas I wanted to work on, and we talked about a wide variety of things. I'm leaving our month of work together with a much better understanding of what I need to do next and more self confidence. If I need more guidance, I would definitely work with Abby again in the future.
