### Product and Technology Intern (UI/UX) @ TrueCar, Inc.
Jan 2015 – Jan 2015
Myself and two other interns took a TrueCar-to-car manufacturer web tool for managing marketing materials with a user-friendly analytics platform, from inception to a working prototype. During research, I conducted interviews with personnel in the company who were in roles similar to those of our target users to determine feasibility, as well as determine the strength of the market for automobile data analytics tools. After validation, I structured a more usable information hierarchy for analytics, iterated on UI designs and optimized the UX. I presented my findings and designs, daily, to my mentors for discussion, and improved on them for the next session. By the end of the ten weeks, we had created a production-level prototype and showed the need for manufacturer focused products, earning the award for “Best Executed Project”.

I took on the role of near-peer mentor for 11th graders in Oakland, CA leading students in SAT preparation and college application development to help students combat financial and educational hardships. Each week, I prepared and executed lesson plans for reviewing test material and motivating students to apply to college.
