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

I work closely with a range of clients, with my main role being to help clients with general estate management. This involves lots of on site visits, therefore no two days are the same when dealing with new enquiries.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have enhanced my skillset considerably, whilst learning how to manage my work load efficiently. This has been thanks to great mentors and colleagues guiding me and trusting me.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The programme has provided me with countless opportunities from networking events to lunch and learns. I have enjoyed every part of my programme to a great extent.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is structed very well, whilst also remaining flexible. I keep my work and university studies as separate as possible to help keep a focused divide, allowing me to switch off and really get stuck in with what I'm working on (university work or work), whilst receiving any support needed.
