Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

Absolutely loved my internship! The workload is considerably more than university which is expected, however the support was there and the skills I have learned are invaluable and have prepared me for a career much more than my university course ever has.
Every day is different and interesting- and being involved in the new Disney projects is really exciting!
