Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Each intern was given an individual project to work on for the 10 weeks. Day to day I would catch up with my mentor/buddy/manager, work on analysis and reach out to other members of the team with questions. The project will fit into the wider work of your team somehow.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! I drove the direction of my project, and it was real work that one of the new grads will take on after I leave
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
