With almost two and a half years at LinkedIn, I've gained invaluable insights into the tech industry and career development. This experience helps me guide coding bootcamp graduates, self-taught programmers, and career changers.

I've helped several mentees land their first tech jobs, improve their coding skills, and build confidence. Seeing their progress drives me to keep mentoring.
