“Just want to give a huge shoutout to Alex who has been the best mentor I could’ve asked for! He was professional yet personable and truly put me at ease from our first meeting. It’s been nice to have someone in my corner supporting me no matter what. I think this programme could benefit many others if they are partnered with someone like him.”
