Hello, my name is Saung Hnin Wai but I mostly go by my name Nicole. I am an IT student at UWE and currently interning at Manor Community for my summer internship 2025 as a Project Support Intern. I am in my final year at UWE and have only been in the UK for a little over 3 months. When I first came, I was overwhelmed by the fact that I had to look for an internship straight away to be ready for my summer internship. The word “Intern” itself was a big deal for us final year students. I did not expect much but still tried my best to apply for internship positions that are related to my major and interests. Outside of my studies and internship, I have a deep passion for cooking and just taking a stroll around my neighborhood to relax my mind and just have some time away from the screen. 

I was totally lost on how to spice up my CV, but luckily, UWE offers a Professional and Academic Writing class. As part of the course, we learned how to write the best version of our CVs. I did not waste a second after the lecture ended to apply for internships using our school website (InfoHub). There, “Manor Community” caught my eye. It’s not only the role but the community itself that looked appealing to me. Manor Community is a care company that provides care and support services. I was beyond happy to know that I would be an intern at a place that provides such help to society, and with my interests in management, the role as “Project Support Intern” was a perfect match for me. I would be learning so much here not only for my role’s responsibilities but also to learn more about care homes and the social support system here in the UK. I am gaining insights into the social support sector in the UK (Bristol) and look forward to furthering my understanding while also improving my skills as a Project Support Intern.
