About this session

This is single, 50-minute session for existing mentees. It can be used as an add on to a monthly plan or as a one-off session to discuss the topic of your choice. Please note, this session is only available to individuals who are either current mentees or have had at least one mentor session with me in the past.

Your mentor

Hi, my name is Mary and I'm looking forward to meeting you. Over the course of my 20+ year journey in software engineering, I evolved my own career from being an individual contributor to running entire departments as Vice President of Engineering.  I hit plenty of bumps along the way and experienced first hand how challenging it can be to excel in tech without sacrificing you personal well-being. I was lucky to have some great mentors and guides. which is what motivated me to gain addition skills in coaching so that I can help others break into, and advance through the tech space while still having the work/life balance needed to excel both personally and professionally.  I have worked directly with hundreds of developers, data scientists, product managers, and others techies looking for help with things like:

- Getting clarity on where to focus their career
- Developing leadership skills
- Cultivating work/life balance
- Mastering executive presence
- Transitioning jobs
- Becoming effective communicators
- Overcoming imposter syndrome

If any of that sounds familiar and you're ready to put in the work required for change, you've come to the right place. Through our conversations we’ll work together every step of the way to create a clear vision of your goals and to define actionable steps to get there.

What changes are you looking to make in your professional life?  What are some of the challenges you are facing? How can I help you meet and overcome those challenges? Let's connect and start re-defining what's possible.

I'd highly recommend working with her to anyone who is going through a career transition and seeking expert advice on navigating a job search as an engineer. Mary's advice was incredibly helpful when tricky situations came up like exploding offers, communication around scheduling conflicts or needing more time to prep, salary negotiation and ultimately deciding on the right next step. Thank you so much for everything!”

I started mentoring with Mary to get help with onboarding into the tech industry. Architecture was a work-harder not smarter profession and I needed guidance from someone experienced for implementing systematic approaches to work. In the last year, Mary and I have worked on a variety of issues from interpersonal to systematic. We worked on giving better feedback, being organized in approaching my 1:1 conversations with managers, and navigating difficulties onboarding new team members. On the systematic side, we talked about various ways to improve engineering pain points at work. Mary is very kind and I really enjoyed getting her insight into navigating my career as a software engineer. She was also helpful in keeping me on target for my goals. Since working with Mary as an engineer, I have since become much more confident as an engineer and I am on track to be promoted this year.”
