I joined Jenn’s team during a time where I was trying to figure out which career path to take. I had graduated from business school and had discovered a strong passion for programming without any real experience. I shared my aspirations with Jenn and she embraced it. We worked together to find ways to develop those skills in the work we did within Business Operations while also seeking mentorship from other technical leaders within the organization.
I was given a lot of trust and freedom to explore and hone my skills while also staying on top of our team priorities. She was always very encouraging, helping me define the path I wanted to pursue while also setting appropriate goals to get there. Eventually an opportunity presented for me to transition into the engineering team and Jenn was supportive of this move, making me feel my interests were top of her mind. Hands down, she is a great mentor. I really appreciated the fact that our relationship went beyond that of a typical manager structure and it was this relationship we created that brought the desire to excel. In that environment, I always wanted to do my best work because I knew she had my back, even during turbulent covid times, she helped our team to stay coherent and focused.
She is a great mentor and will always do her best to help you achieve your goals.
