"Being an Edlyft mentor helped me become a better leader and gain more confidence in my CS fundamentals & programming skills. I love making impact so my most favorite part was seeing the transformation of my students from being unsure about CS to excelling in their CS classes and landing their dream internships in different areas of CS."
