Innovation Application Developer
Jan 2020 - Apr 2020, Sept 2020 - present

Over my first four month term, I developed 4 voice apps and 2 interactive websites to bring innovative ideas to life. I demoed these solutions in the digital space, and the company’s live voice app to prospective clients. I also presented solutions developed using design thinking for both a design workshop and a term-long “capstone” project.

In my second term, I worked on building a website for a Women in Insurance STEM (WIISTEM) program that I joined, a live security remediation web platform, and 2 Alexa voice skills. I also got the opportunity to mentor other coop students and learn from their experiences.
