My internship with Circana was a transformative journey filled with challenges, learnings, and growth. I worked on key projects like developing a proposal for change management and diving deep into CPG client insights, refining my skills in data visualisation, storytelling, and analysis.
I learned the value of attention to detail and the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone. The lessons I鈥檝e learned, especially in data-driven insights and strategic thinking, will stay with me as I navigate the next steps in my career. I am excited for what the future holds!
