Supportive Guide

I had the privilege of being mentored by Emilio during my internship at Lumen. His thoughtful guidance fostered a safe and supportive environment where I felt encouraged to seek help, exchange ideas, and grow professionally.

Although Emilio and I have backgrounds in two entirely different areas (Software Engineering and Human Resources), Emilio provided excellent guidance, encouragement, and genuine connection. This certainly made a lasting impact on me both professionally and personally. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with Emilio.
