Deep dives into the stories and expertise of our most impactful mentors.
Emily Johnson
"I've mentored over 50 people in their data journey, and what I've learned is that technical skills are just one part of the equation. The emotional resilience, the confidence to ask 'dumb' questions, and the ability to stay consistent — those are the real game-changers."
Alex Williams
"The best part of being a mentor is watching someone go from 'I don't think I can do this' to confidently presenting their first data project. That transformation is why I do this work. Everyone deserves to feel capable and supported."
Marcus Davis
"Mentoring isn't about having all the answers — it's about being willing to walk alongside someone as they figure it out. Some of my best mentees have taught me just as much as I've taught them. That's the beauty of community."
