From the beginning of my placement, I joined YPN and GIU as a subscribing member, however from February I have now become a member of both committees. This has allowed me to take the lead on projects and meet like-minded people across the business. For example, I am now involved with planning, minute taking, and the quarterly newsletter for ERG Green Is Universal who are a group of individuals throughout the business who volunteer spread awareness on sustainability within the industry.

I have received weekly 1-2-1 with my manager which guides my performance and learning within the role. I also have received monthly intent meeting updates and opportunities to voice any concerns in these meetings. Also an extended x3 week handover period was organised with the previous intern who demo's the work load and software.

NBCUniversal culture and atmosphere is unmatched, it's so welcoming and uplifting everyone who is hired carries this same energy throughout the building. Everyone is open and ready to help you lear, grow and develop.

My internship has been such an incredible experience - I have learned so much and developed so many connections throughout my time here at Universal.
