Anna - FAANG UX intern

Member story

Hi, I'm Anna, and I'll be a 2022 UX Design intern at Amazon!

I'm a first-generation college student and had an art background, so a lot of my interest in UX stemmed from my upbringing:)

I studied UX at the University of Washington, and was confident in my projects and knowledge in design, but I was a bit lost in the sauce for the whole job hunting process. I was especially stressed about the behavioral questions and interviews, so I reached out to my design friend and mentor Leon, who was also a UXGO coach! Leon was really helpful at identifying and giving behavioral feedback that I can improve on, and I appreciate how he regularly checks in with me!

Seeing how I was able to land an internship at big company as a first-generation college student, I'm beyond grateful for Leon and UXGO. If you would like to hear about my experiences, please reach out to me on LinkedIn! I've been in your shoes before so I want to help you succeed too:)
