I am happy with the work I did with my first team and my managers were keen on immersing me in different parts of the wider team so I experienced a lot more than what I anticipated. I have just finished my first rotation in the Emerging Professionals programme so I am starting to understand what my new team does and how it connects with the rest of the organisation.

I am still early on in my time at Waka Kotahi, so I do not have heaps of responsibilities yet. However, I'm being given heaps of opportunities to develop my skills, like making communications content and developing a comms plan. I've also been helping with editing presentations and documents.
