6. Challenges Faced
The internship, while rewarding, came with its own set of challenges:

Balancing Multiple Projects: Juggling several tasks at once, including data analysis, report generation, and project coordination, was challenging at first. I overcame this by developing a detailed task schedule and prioritizing my workload.
-
Remote Collaboration: Due to the pandemic protocols in place during 2050, much of the work was done remotely. Adjusting to virtual meetings and managing communication across time zones required adaptation, but tools like VirtualCollab helped streamline this process.

-
For CastleBrand: I recommend implementing a more structured mentorship program for interns, where weekly feedback sessions with supervisors could provide continuous guidance and help address challenges more promptly.
