Hi, I'm Shangya Xu! I'm a senior majoring in econometrics and I heard about this internship from my classmates. I work for Dr. Rini Mehta as a Data Analyst. My responsibilities include conducting an animated visualization by D3, presenting the historical changing of actresses used in movies directed by women directors over the past 100 years, and selecting significant features to make dropdown menus. I'm currently working on Prof. Mehta's global movie program, specifically working on projects by female directors to present trends of actresses used in their movies. Throughout this internship, I developed my skills in D3 programming language, communication skills, had a wonderful teamwork experience and learned to apply my problem solving skills in the real world. I'd like to be a business or data analyst in the future. Fun fact: I like R2D2 most among all the characters in Star Wars!
