“I feel so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to work closely with Gauri over the last year and a half. She is very collaborative and is a natural at building relationships with other disciplines, from PM to engineer. We worked in a particularly complicated and dense domain (tools for data science and machine learning), but she was able to ramp up on it incredibly quickly and drive experiences forward with little trouble. She’s also unafraid to step up to partner on design-adjacent things like product strategy and user research, and as a result she ran several research loops and brought key insights back to her team. In short, Gauri’s a bright, multifaceted talent and would absolutely be an asset to any design team.”

Orientation Leader
Lassonde School of Engineering
- 2 months
Education
I was part of a team that helped interact with freshmen to welcome them to York University in the fields of Engineering and Computer Science. We set up games related to their majors (such as make race cars using vex kits, etc.) so they had the hands-on opportunity to see what kind of projects they were in for as engineering students. This helped me learn how to work cooperatively in a team, and how to assign tasks to each team member so we can remain organized.
