She naturally handles client presentations and engagements with ease, is thoughtful in her craft, and most of all, has an insatiable thirst to learn and better her skills as a UX designer. She is a great collaborator and makes other people want to work with her because she approaches every problem with pure openness and a strategic mindset. Meredith is an empathetic communicator and brings such a positive attitude to any team. She will not be afraid to challenge the status quo and will constantly push the team to think outside the box. Throughout my time at Genuine with Meredith, I have seen tremendous growth in her dedicated craft: in strategic thinking, user research, IA planning, and in user-centered designs. She is a natural leader and any team would be extremely lucky to have her." and "Meredith Sloan was a 2014 fall intern for the Women’s Leadership Institute at the Impact Center. During her 3-month internship, her major focus was capturing what we do visually through photography and videography to significantly strengthen our ability to act on our mission. Meredith approached her projects thoughtfully, by first understanding our work/needs, and then developing a plan to create two marketing videos, including key questions for the interviewees. She presented her ideas to the staff for input/buy-in before moving forward on implementation. During her brief tenure, she photographed three events, sorted and optimized the pictures, and shared with our team for use on our website/social media/marketing materials. She also interviewed women from our program on film and used it to develop two videos to promote the Women’s Leadership Institute and our Scholarship Fund. Meredith’s greatest strengths are the ability to take initiative, put people at ease through her approachable demeanor, multi-task/organize work, artistic eye, and endless energy/optimism. I personally enjoyed working with Meredith throughout the fall. She is wise beyond her years and grounded in who she is/who she will become. I have no doubt that this young leader will go far in whatever she chooses to do next!"
