The mentor (and alum) I contacted was Rich Shea

Outcome (i.e., did you get a response? If not, what is your follow-up plan? Did you meet? When? What was the result?)
We spoke on the 30th of March, and had a great conversation about possible paths after Turing. Rich was also helpful with some great advice to continue learning after finishing the program. He offered to take a look at any challenges with my work, which I have not yet had an occasion to do.
This contact will be of great assistance as I continue through my time at school and soon think more on preparing to get a job. Longterm, I will gain experience asking for guidance in the professional realm, which I have not previously done much.
