Ask Me Anything - 60 Minutes with Sandrina

I worked with Sandrina to work through picking my next role after suffering from burnout. She helped me figure out what to prioritize, saving me from a role that would have been a poor fit, and is helping me start on the right foot. I am grateful for her insights and experience.

I could not be happier with the mentoring I received from Sandrina. From the very start, she was helpful, friendly, approachable, and had one clear goal for our work together: helping me to grow as a frontend engineer/developer. And that is exactly what happened. I learned a tremendous amount during the 6 months we worked together. It felt like the equivalent of 6-8 months of professional work experience ON TOP OF the work I was doing at my full time job. One year of professional growth in 6 months is completely worth the cost of mentoring! While Sandrina taught me many things directly, what was truly helpful were her code reviews. She was thorough, direct, and very clear in her suggestions, critiques, tips, and praise. If I disagreed with one of her critiques, Sandrina would patiently show me how what she was suggesting was better. It was clear to me from these code reviews that she truly had the experience and skill needed to be a great mentor. I cannot recommend Sandrina highly enough. Working on a project with her guidance, making mistakes, correcting them, and improving your code will produce long lasting dividends for your career.

Sandrina is brilliant mentor, I enjoy achieving my goals together with her.

Sandrina is an excellent mentor. She helped me through a tough time. I learned a lot about accessibility and good front-end practices in general. She has interesting projects and ideas and is all around just a great person. We had great fun together and the only reason I'm leaving is because I have a son to take care of. If I ever come back to the platform, I'll absolutely not hesitate to try Sandrina again! Voa, Sandrina!

I thoroughly enjoyed my intro session with Sandrina. Her attitude, demeanor, and overall enthusiasm for helping others learn and grow as developers is very apparent. I believe she will be a really good mentor!
