Catriona Cornett’s Summary

I am a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University's College of Information Sciences and Technology. During my time at Penn State, I held several internship positions that allowed me to explore different areas of information technology. I served as a web developer at AccuWeather, and as a project manager/analyst at General Electric. I also held an undergraduate research position that focused on implementing advanced content based image retrieval technologies.

Now, I am working full time at The Vanguard Group in Malvern, PA. Vanguard's Technology Leadership Program (TLP) allows me to explore my primary interests, which are user experience design, design strategy, usability, information architecture, and web design. I hope to gain valuable user experience design related skills as a member of the TLP program and eventually move into leading teams in the design of the optimal user experience for web applications
