Reflection on the Mentorship Program

I was mentored by Rianne, and she really helped me settle some ground values when entering the job market. I have learnt to recognize my skills and value them properly and also recognizing some areas of improvement for the future. She was an extremely calm presence during moments of uncertainty, and I am grateful for the mentorship experience with her.
