Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Within the data science and innovation team I have learnt how to use python. I then applied this knowledge to perform an exploratory data analysis on a data set in order to improve a model from its basic starter script. There is also further opportunities to get involved with projects outside of the placement with fellow interns, such as fundraising.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given my own project to work on but could ask for help when needed.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
