A: I am excited to be working on A/B testing to measure bias in the job application process. The research is unique and very interesting so far!
Q: What are some new things you have learned about your role or department?

A: I love to travel, and I’m fortunate to have been to 14 countries and 15 states so far!
Trinity Lee, Marketing Research Intern, Student at Lehigh University
Q: What projects are you most excited to work on?
A: One of the projects I’m currently working on is about job opportunities for new grads out of college. I can’t wait to see what kinds of surprising conclusions we can make from analyzing the application process. As the information is also pertinent to my own life experiences, it’s exciting to see how a project like this comes together behind the scenes.
Q: What are some new things you have learned about your role or department?
A: So far I’ve learned about survey design, A/B testing, and data tracking. I am new, so there’s plenty of time to learn more!
Q: What are some of your personal successes outside of work?
A: I learned how to crochet and made a hat and a patchwork cardigan recently. Haven’t quite had the courage to start a larger project yet, but I have been eyeing some cool sweaters as a next project.
