My internship at DLQ Consulting officially started on Monday at 9 a.m., and I met up with Luca from the agency to get there. The commute only took about 30 minutes by metro, but wow – it was packed. Definitely rush hour chaos.
Once I arrived, I quickly realized that punctuality isn’t exactly a priority here – everyone showed up late, though I didn’t really mind. I was introduced to Liz, who thankfully speaks English and originally comes from South America. She gave me a quick overview of their current project and told me to explore it a bit to see where I might be able to contribute.
But when I came back the next day, Liz wasn’t in. Instead, I got to meet Rafael, the CEO of DLQ Consulting. He gave me a different task: helping prepare a presentation for an upcoming course he’s teaching in early May, targeted at people aged 50 and up – he calls them the “silver economy” (because of the silver hair, obviously). Together with another intern, Christinas, I’m working on making the slides more visually appealing. My main responsibility is to add more context and explanations related to AI, since that’s one of the key topics of the course.
That’s what I’ve been focusing on over the past few days – researching, writing, and figuring out how to present AI concepts in a clear and interesting way for beginners. It’s a pretty cool challenge, and I’m curious to see how it all comes together!
