‘Ethan was enthusiastic, reliable, and engaged throughout, full participating in the sessions bringing thoughts and questions to each meet-up. As a practice that has been mentoring students for a number of years, it was great to see this continued ambition to engage even when having to carry this out solely online. I was impressed by his level of commitment to acquiring as much knowledge as possible, and by his confidence and interpersonal skills.’
