Yes, I did the research and have weekly meetings with my employer.

I have improved my research and copywriting skills. Planning and time management, as I balanced 5 separate case studies at the same time. I also practiced preparing the work I had done before my weekly meetings with my employer.

A lot. It was a very independent role, however, whenever I needed assistance or had any questions was also very helpful and thorough when given advice. There was a lot of freedom to take the case studies in the direction I thought was best suited.

Very welcoming and helpful.

I enjoyed it to a high extent. I felt very supported and was very interested in what I was researching and writting about.
