1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I worked on projects with different people. My daily interacts consists of talking to my home team, sending out the emails to my team about the project deadlines, going to workshops and meeting senior executives. Furthermore, everyday was a different day allowing me to have flexibility to take on different tasks.
