Lily is one of the best mentors I've worked with here. She is a great listener and she has a wealth of experience which she can share. What I appreciated the most is that she has always come prepared to our sessions. Every time before our sessions, I would try to share an agenda with topics to discuss and Lily would have prepared some topics and questions to guide the session. I would definitely work with Lily again.

Working with Lily was an incredibly valuable experience. She is both knowledgeable and highly experienced, and it really shows in every session. Her guidance was always clear, well-structured, and tailored to my goals. What stood out the most was how supportive and encouraging she was throughout the entire mentorship. Lily not only helped me stay on track but also provided thoughtful insights that helped me grow personally and professionally. I’m truly grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled mentor.

I have been working with Lily for about 5 months now, and I can definitely recommend her as a mentor to anyone seeking to pivot their career to Data Science, prepare for interviews with Big Tech companies, or enhance their DS skills. Lily is very encouraging, positive, and knowledgeable about product data science and analytics. She shares valuable resources, provides insights into new tools and industry developments, and offers in-depth knowledge about how internet companies approach hiring. We have had resume review sessions, mock interviews, and technical project reviews. Lily is a fantastic mentor and will help you achieve your goals if you are willing to put in the work.
