Building an Internal Ecosystem
I only realised 3 years into my first job the importance of building internal ecosystems. In large complex organisations, we work cross-function and cross-border. Having friends and allies across the organisation helps more than I imagined. I am thankful to my mentor for pointing this out early in my career.

Planning a 3-Year Career Journey
Fresh out of junior college, my next phase was filled with excitement and uncertainty. My mentor helped me craft a personal 3-year plan — from university modules to activities I should invest in. I now tell a stronger story on my resume and have better chances of landing internships aligned with my dream job.
