I’m so excited to get to know you better and work more closely with you over the coming weeks. We will connect twice a week during our team meetings. Remember that as a student, it is totally normal to not be completely sure how to do things. That is totally ok. I always suggest you try this. Imagine you are the final audience receiving this and ask yourself what do you think would make the most sense. Chances are your thoughts are good ones so take a risk and make judgement calls and use your best guess because that is how you will learn best. You are also always welcome to reach out to me directly.- Thanks again and can’t wait to get to know you better over the coming four weeks!
