“I managed Megan during her three months at Macmillan Cancer Support as a Corporate Volunteering Intern. Megan is an absolute pleasure to work with; her can-do, positive attitude is infectious and she is proactive in supporting the team in any way possible. Throughout the internship Megan worked on a wide variety of projects, all of which she grasped really quickly and completed to the highest quality. Megan is one of the most organised people I know and never fails to execute tasks for (and mostly way before!) set deadlines. We will miss having Megan in the team but know she will be hugely successful in her next role and a real asset to the team. ”
