About this session

An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.

You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.

Cheng mentored me over the past two years; our bi‑weekly calls became one of the most impactful parts of my growth in data science. She consistently challenged how I think, helped me sharpen my problem‑solving method, pushed me to level up—especially during the interview‑prep grind when I was putting in late nights to get ready. What stood out most is that Cheng’s support went beyond technical guidance. During some difficult time, her steadiness plus encouragement gave me real stability, confidence when I needed it most. That kind of mentorship is rare. If you’re looking for the kind of mentor who is intellectually rigorous, practical, genuinely invested in your growth, I highly recommend Cheng. ”

Cheng helped me overhaul my resume, gave me tips on using the major job sites more effectively, showed me online resources that led to some of my first callbacks, and was available to help at every step of the interview process. No fluff, no nonsense, lots of practical and actionable advice. Thanks to her help, I was able to secure a job offer at a more senior level than I had expected. Highly recommended!”

She brings a proven, structured approach that delivers results and shows she’s deeply invested in the success of her mentees. Her feedback is always thoughtful, actionable, and tailored to your individual goals. I joined the mentorship aiming to advance my career as a data scientist and move into a more senior, higher-paying role. She helped me craft a resume I feel truly confident in, develop effective application strategies, and prepare thoroughly for technical interviews with quality resources and guidance. Additionally, she has a way of making the job search process feel manageable by breaking down what can be an overwhelming and uncertain experience into clear, achievable steps Although I ultimately secured an internal move, I saw very strong traction with my external applications during the process. I’m confident that, with her continued support, I would have been able to land an external role within 3 months.”
