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

I was at the Discover EY event. We were in teams all day and did activities such as planning a prom and discussing what makes a good employee.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoyed the section with Bianca Miller, and it was fun planning the prom (if a little stressful). Some sections of the day could have been more enjoyable - such as the presentation we had on thinking and problem solving.
