IBIT Mentorship Program
Through the IBIT mentorship program, I had the opportunity to connect with two amazing mentors: Ying Liangchai, VP of Analytics at Tandigm Health, and Kevin Dang, Competitive Intelligence Manager at Certinia. Our meetings helped me explore roles that combine risk management and technology, which is an area I’m passionate about as an MIS and RMI double major. Ying offered insights into her career journey in analytics, emphasizing the importance of data governance, business understanding, and soft skills like adaptability and proactiveness. Kevin introduced me to competitive intelligence and IT risk. We talked a lot about workplace culture and career transitions, which helped me reflect on long-term career fit. These conversations helped me think through how I can combine my interests in risk and tech. I left every meeting with practical advice and new things to think about. This program has been a huge help as I prepare for my upcoming summer internship and figure out where I want to go long-term.
