I contribute a lot of my success to Lily's mentorship. The very practical tips, and advice she shared, were not only helpful in my current job search, but felt like could be applicable in all of my future professional career. She was always genuine, down to earth, and so knowledgable not only in her field of data science, but overall how to navigate the professional life as well. I was really fortunate to be able to have Lily as a mentor, if you are looking for a mentor in the data/tech field, you can't go wrong with Lily!

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.
