I was able to undertake scrum master responsibilities alongside conducting weekly playback meetings for the team. Besides my day-work, I was given the responsibility to be the point-of-contact for interns to seek answers to any questions they have as well as maintain contact within the cohort throughout remote and in-person working.

I received various kind of support throughout my placement regarding my day-work, extra-professional projects, and miscellaneous inquiries. Whenever I needed help, there were always someone that helped me or redirected me to someone that could.
