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

My role within Siemen’s healthineers is to wind wire to create coils on the magnets - a very important and delicate process of which I am lucky enough to be apart of. It includes many different processes that all need to be accurate to the nearest hundredths of millimetres.
