Something about me:

"As a mid career professional, I am rising to the challenge of working from home during a during a global pandemic, being a supportive spouse (who seems to have an overfull work plate), parenting two small kids, trying to maintain my existing friends and also maintain a sense of normalcy. I may not be on top of every aspect of those buckets, but I am trying my best. Looking back to college, I wanted to study engineering so that I "wouldn't have to take English classes" - big fail as my job centers almost totally around my ability to have a strong command of the written and spoken language. Active membership in professional societies has also helped me to be a better leader and be much more empathetic to the challenges of life."

 

The best advice I’ve received…

"Treat others how they want to be treated. Check out this article I wrote a few years back for more ideas: https://pubs.spe.org/en/twa/twa-article-detail/?art=2647"

 

What can I contribute as a Mentor?

"My time and out of the box creative thinking."

 

Preferences and availability:

I am willing to mentor 2 young professionals or students on weekdays once a month, remotely. However, the frequency and length of mentoring sessions will be an agreement between Mentor and Mentee.
