Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was interning as a Summer Analyst in the Consumer and Retail team. I was assisting the junior members of the team on their daily tasks. I was doing some valuation tasks and producing some marketing materials, regarding the staffing.
