James LeistmanA&P Specialist III| General Atomics - Systems IntegrationCo, United States
Hello,
My name is James Leistman and I am currently enrolled at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I have been furthering my education by obtaining a BS in Technical Management with a major in Project Management. My current class requires me to meet with a PM mentor for 30-45 min per week to discuss today's current industry and expectations. I am seeking someone willing to be my mentor for this course and possibly beyond. I am currently deployed overseas so these mentor sessions would be via video chat. Thank you all and I can not wait to join this group of professionals next year when I complete my degree.
