I have been very pleased with the way that the mentoring scheme went and I feel that I benefited greatly from being able to discuss work and career-related issues with someone who was not directly involved in my work and had no detailed knowledge of it. Explaining issues in our discussions to someone who may have known little about the way that my particular department operates was useful in itself as I was obliged to think through the root of particular issues and their potential solutions.

Aqsa provides an incredible learning experience with her encouragement, enthusiasm and patience. She is really strong at everything SQL, JavaScript, and Python in general. I come with a few questions each class and Aqsa teaches me fundamental things necessary to make the understandings that I had no idea existed. I feel I am learning a tremendous amount in each lesson with Aqsa.

I recently had the privilege of being mentored by Aqsa for a month, and I can wholeheartedly say that it was an incredibly enriching experience. Aqsa's guidance and support were instrumental in refining my long-term goals and helping me address my shortcomings effectively. From the outset, Eric exhibited a profound understanding of my aspirations and was keen on helping me shape them into a concrete vision. Her ability to listen attentively and ask thought-provoking questions challenged me to think deeper about my ambitions, ultimately leading to a more refined and well-defined goal. What truly stood out during my mentorship with Aqsa was her remarkable skill in identifying my weaknesses and areas for improvement in record time. It was almost uncanny how she pinpointed exactly where I needed to focus my efforts, demonstrating her keen observational abilities and extensive experience in mentoring. With a gentle and patient approach, Aqsa guided me through strategies and techniques to overcome these shortcomings, turning them into stepping stones towards my growth. Aqsa's patience and experience truly set her apart as a mentor. She consistently created a safe and open environment where I felt comfortable discussing my concerns and seeking guidance. She didn't just provide answers; instead, she encouraged me to think critically and find solutions myself, fostering a sense of empowerment that will undoubtedly serve me well in the future. In a fast-paced world, finding a mentor who not only understands your goals but also invests the time and effort to guide you through challenges is a rarity. Aqsa's mentorship transcended my expectations, and I am immensely grateful for the knowledge and insights she shared during our short but impactful time together. If you're seeking a mentor who possesses a profound understanding of your aspirations, the ability to identify your areas of growth with finesse, and the patience to guide you through your journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Aqsa.

I am very pleased with my experience so far with Aqsa as a mentor. She has offered very helpful advice and exercises that have helped me collect my thoughts and refine my career goals. I am thankful for her holding me accountable to the things I said I would do. I've had many outstanding items on the to-do list that I viewed as difficult/daunting tasks, such as traveling to conferences and meeting people online, but they'd ultimately help me get closer to my goals. Happy to say I've finally crossed off many of those items off my list. Aqsa has also connected me with people from companies that I wanted to learn more about, pushed me to be more introspective and question my own opinions/beliefs, and provided excellent book recommendations based on my needs. I've only had 3 sessions with Aqsa thus far but I can say that I've already had a significant shift in my mindset and outlook on life, and I hope it will continue this way. Expect to meet every 2-3 weeks for ~45 minutes per session. You will need the time in between sessions to complete "homework assignments," which are action items that Aqsa will assign to you as you share your needs.
