Expectations for students: I expect learners to be curious, proactive, and committed to their personal and professional growth. The most productive mentoring relationships are built on openness, preparation, and a willingness to ask questions, reflect on feedback, and take action. I aim to provide practical guidance, share real-world industry insights, and help learners make informed career decisions, while expecting them to take ownership of their development.
My motivation/personal goal for participating in the mentorship programme: My motivation for participating in the KTU mentorship program is to help bridge the gap between academic learning and the realities of today’s technology and business environment. Throughout my career, I have benefited from mentors and practical experiences that shaped my professional journey, and I would like to give back by supporting students as they prepare for their own careers.
I aim to share practical insights into business development, technology, AI, and career growth, helping students make informed decisions, develop confidence, and better understand industry expectations. At the same time, I value the opportunity to learn from students’ perspectives, strengthen my connection with the university community, and contribute to developing the next generation of professionals.
