Overview
As a Product Development Intern, I contributed to a non-profit initiative focused on democratizing career advice for underrepresented students. Collaborating with the design and development teams, I leveraged data analysis techniques to identify key insights that shaped design improvements. My work involved conducting a UX audit and redesigning the platform’s home page interface to enhance accessibility and engagement. I delivered high-fidelity prototypes that aligned with both user needs and organizational objectives, ensuring a cohesive user experience across the platform’s ecosystem.

Let data drive progress forward
During my time at PwC, this internship allowed me to see the real-world impact of leveraging data analysis and user research to drive meaningful design decisions. Working closely with both design and development teams taught me the importance of collaboration and cross-functional communication. I gained a deeper understanding of how data-driven insights can directly influence user experience improvements, while also ensuring business objectives are met. Camron, and Madi were amazing mentors during this experience. They gave so much guidance when navigating this project, and I'm forever grateful to have started my professional journey alongside them.
