  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • At the moment I am in Newcastle as a first year (it wouldn't let me select my starting year on my phone) so I've been living a student life and studying for my exams. Next year I will go on placement for pwc - I am really looking forward to this experience which we have been preparing for since we started in September.

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