“I interned in Barcelona at Loyapp, a start-up company that provides a loyalty service for local businesses in Spain. The main project I worked on was doing market research in various cities around Spain to find clients that would be a fit for Loyapp. Some other projects I also worked on were developing the FAQ page and Chatbot for the website.”

Some of my responsibilities were doing maintenance work on the website, market research, google analytics, email marketing campaigns, and proofreading the articles before they are submitted onto the library.”
