This list shows a summary version of 'About Me' for each mentor. Please click the 'Read More' text link to read the full 'About Me'.
If you find a mentor who you think is a good match for you, please contact them using the 'CONTACT' link (Online Contact Form) for that mentor.
If you see '+SHOW MORE' sign under "Areas of Expertise" of a mentor, it means you can click it to expand the list for that mentor.

- "Areas of Expertise": Click in the field box where it says 'Choose some options'.
  - You can simply scroll through and select an area of expertise. Or, if you type in a keyword, a list of areas of expertise related to that keyword will show up like a drop down list, and you can select from the list.
  - For multiple selections, press and hold down the Ctrl key, and then click each item that you want to select. Or, you can simply repeat the step above.
