WCAG

Throughout my internship at Google during Summer 2022, I learned a lot about the importance of accessibility within web applications. I became extremely familiar with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and implemented several solutions that helped the Google Maps JS API meet them.

Communication

I use my communication skills daily. During the school year, I'm often working with other students on different projects or collaborating on problem sets. During my internships, I am constantly messaging my colleagues, emailing my superiors, meeting over Zoom with mentors, and presenting my work. All of this practice has made me a fantastic communicator.

Leadership

I have an empathetic leadership style. Whenever I assume the role of a leader, I always make sure to take into account the opinions of all of my teammembers. This is important because it's always better to get multiple points of view when making decisions. This also conveys to my teammembers that I respect and trust them, and I believe the best teams are built on mutual respect and trust.

Adaptation

I have had to use my adaptability a lot in the last two years. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, many people's lives shifted dramatically, and as a result they had to adapt to succeed. I had to leave school on short notice and finish the rest of my Spring 2020 semester online. Additionally, during summer 2020 I worked full-time virtually for the first time. I encountered a lot of changes, and my ability to adapt is what allowed me to succeed in these situations.

Teamwork

I have worked with teams in many different settings, both in college and during internships. I work well within teams because I am good at identifying my role within a team. In some occasions, I am the most experienced on a team and will take a leadership role. In other situations, I am on a team with more skilled individuals, and take on the role of a learner. This allows me to communicate effectively with my team.

Organization

I am an extremely organized person. Whenever I know I have any events or meetings coming up, I always immediately put them in my calendar. Any tasks I have to complete go in my to-do list. I am also good at prioritizing my tasks. These habits ensure that I always show up on-time and meet deadlines.

Attention to Detail

I am very attentive to detail. This skill helps me identify bugs, of which I have found many throughout my internships. This also allows me to think of edge cases that others may not have considered. My attention to detail prevents me from making mistakes and allows me to verify that things work as expected.
