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."

Andrey also shared how he made decisions in his own career, which was super helpful. It gave me new ideas and a clearer picture of what I could do next.

"I"

"Leoson is an absolute legend. For months, I was stuck in Python tutorial hell, jumping from one course to another because nothing felt like a right fit and the material was all the same. But when I started working with Leoson, he created a curriculum for my needs (which was real-world applied data science). He takes the time to answer all of my questions and understands my challenges as a beginning data scientist. Having Leoson as my mentor made me fall in love with data science again. 5/5 Highly recommend."

"Andrey is a great mentor! I was going to assess my skills to tell a good story which is required for Amazon interviews. First of all, he clarified what is my exact goal and when I want to achieve it. Then he conducted a mock interview, which is especially valuable because he is an actual interviewer at Amazon. Then he provided an extensive feedback with actionable items. Part of the feedback was provided later the same day which demonstrates a high level of commitment from Andrey’s side. His feedback covered everything, both the presentation and the content, what’s exactly should be highlighted, what was missing and what were the unnecessary details. He clearly explained what are the expectations from the interviewer side, and how the decision on passing or failing the candidate is made. Also, he provided some additional materials to review, which have proven to be effective. This is a huge amount of work to be done on my side, and that’s exactly what I wanted to get from the session, the direction on how to most effectively use my preparation time. And we decided to schedule a follow-up session to check the progress and to refine my subsequent preparation steps."
