🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Mariana is, without a doubt, the most incredible mentor I’ve ever had. As an international undergrad seeking a STEM internship, I initially felt lost; college career resources were limited, and navigating the tech industry was overwhelming. Signing up for the Grace Hopper Celebration 2024 was a turning point, where I discovered Mariana—a true gem. Before we even started, I found Mariana’s articles on Medium covering everything from GHC agendas to resume tips, elevator pitches, and more. I immediately knew I was in the right hands. Starting our sessions in August, Mariana went above and beyond. She didn’t just offer advice; she took the initiative every step of the way, spending countless hours with me to refine my resume and sharing a list of behavioral and technical interview questions tailored to my needs. Her insights and encouragement have been invaluable. Anytime I felt anxious, Mariana was there, uplifting and guiding me with her extensive experience. She truly cares for each of her mentees, diving deep into individual situations to create tailored plans. With her help, my resume began attracting attention, and I started landing interview opportunities I couldn’t have imagined a few months ago. If I could, I’d rate Mariana’s mentorship 10 stars out of 5. Her support has been life-changing, transforming the internship search from a daunting task to an inspiring journey. I am deeply grateful and would recommend her to any student, especially those preparing for GHC or entering the tech industry. Mariana is not only a phenomenal mentor but also a compassionate leader who genuinely cares about her mentees’ success. Thank you, Mariana, for everything—you’ve made an unforgettable impact on my path forward.

Sometimes you want a coach who will give you direction and honest answers, and Mariana is exactly that. I went to her when I was a bit lost and wanted direction in my job search. She cares, digs in, gives you her thoughts (but with enough flexibility, because she tries to really understand your situation). She also understands how your career fits into the big picture of your life. Mariana has been a great coach for me, not just listening and offering sound and solid advice, but also generously offering to connect me with various folks, and inspiring me to follow our plan with courage and consistency. I've now achieved my goal and found my first full-time role. Mariana was essential for me navigating conference job fairs, helped me make a job search plan that I was confident in, and pushed me with the right questions when I needed it. She's inspiring, kind, and uplifting, and I recommend you take a trial session with her and see where it goes from there.
