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

I am a full-time university student so during term-time I just operate as any other university student. Over the summer, I work 10 week placements for PwC. On my recent placement, it was mostly focussed on learning the skills I need for my future placements.
