I met Sirisha at the 2022 SWE
Conference. Her talk inspired me to
begin developing a mentorship program
through my college SWE section. Her
advice greatly helped narrow down the
exact goals and design we wanted for our
program, as well as what we needed to
prioritize in our mentor/mentee
meetings. Sirisha is a fantastic
communicator!
