Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I assist the operations team with many different tasks, ranging from excel data analysis, sending off important emails or creating slideshow presentations designed to educate people about things going on within the team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not massive amounts, but still enough that which I was given impactful tasks and trusted to figure them out and do them on my own. I was also given multiple at once with the idea I knew how to manage the time distribution

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
