Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Web design for the co-curricular programme Rise. I designed the website with the student demographic in mind, and as a result of this, I would often attend student events at the university to represent Rise. This was done through career stands where I would interview students for both website content and authentic feedback.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility as I had full administrative control over the official Rise webpage and managed my own projects
