  Megan Sobolosky, TA Programs Manager, Duolingo

  I've been a part of Duolingo for almost 4.5 years where I started as a TAC and eventually moved into a TA Operations Specialist role focusing on data analyzation, running backend processes of University Recruiting and began organization of events & conferences. It was not long after until I was able to channel all of my skills into becoming a Programs Manager for the University Recruiting team. In my current role, I've been able to work with partner organizations, host conference events, develop a virtual summit dedicated to interview preparation, and be an owner in our Internship programs. I love the opportunity to work with our internal intern managers as well as with the interns year over year who make our programs what they are today!
