The Lantern Network has been instrumental in my career growth, providing invaluable support and mentorship that helped me secure a spot in the highly competitive 2025 Uber Career Prep NAMER/LATAM Fellowship, with only a 3% acceptance rate. Their guidance gave me the confidence and skills to navigate opportunities like this, preparing me for real-world challenges.
