Mentor and Mentee: Expectations, Reality and Lessons Learned
A mentor and mentee relationship is a learning experience for everyone involved. This summer ThinkShout hired 3 interns. One of those positions was a front end intern, Katrina. Eric was the mentor for the internship.
In any project or experience there is what you expect and what actually happens when you go through it. In this talk we’ll share:

- The reality of the experience and the work
- Finally, the lessons we learned along the way
