Daily Life As this was a remote internship, I was mostly left to my own devices in terms of structuring my workload. I set myself deadlines to manage this and exchanged emails with my supervisor keeping them up to date with my progress. Occasional check-ins via video call were also very helpful in making sure I was on the right track. Lasting Impressions The internship helped me develop my skills with QGIS. I had no prior experience with this software, but for many conservation organisations the ability to use QGIS is a highly desired skill. This has therefore definitely increased my employability within the conservation sector. This internship has also confirmed my desire to work in conservation, specifically within data analysis. I was also able to increase my written communication skills in report writing, another highly desirable skill. I would definitely recommend this internship if you are unsure if you wish to pursue a career in research and analysis.
