Regardless of where you are in your career, having a mentor is one of the best things you can do to advance yourself.
I’m very passionate about mentorship. As a distinguished engineer, being a mentor is an important part of my role. And as a Black woman in tech, being a mentor is an opportunity to help other women and underrepresented minorities have an easier journey than I did.
Early in my career, there were definitely times when I felt alone and frustrated. I recall wishing there was someone that I could talk to who understood my trials and tribulations.
