Meet your mentor, Daryl.

Daryl is a Director in the Strategic Projects Group and works at Penguin Random House. He’s from Alaska and went to the University of Montana, where he studied English with a focus on Education and Creative Writing. At work, he leads teams to figure out the best way to get important projects done, solving problems and making sure everything runs smoothly. He enjoys working with high school students and giving back to the community, and he’s comfortable guiding students through challenges because he’s worked with mentees before and loves helping people grow. Outside of work, Daryl enjoys reading, exploring new places, listening to podcasts, traveling, and staying active.

You and Daryl connect in some meaningful ways. You’re both talkative, creative thinkers who enjoy building and making things, and you both like being active and pushing yourselves to improve. He’s someone you can be honest with, share your ideas, and ask for advice when you’re feeling indecisive or unsure. Daryl is excited to support you as you grow, explore new opportunities, and work toward your goals—whether that’s in basketball, technology, or anything else you dream of.
