    • I have been afforded a great deal of responsibility, owing partly to my background as well as my skills. There have been projects where I have been lucky enough to take a lead role, being responsible for not only the projects success, but the satisfaction of the users and customers each project affects.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The exposure to different roles and departments will be invaluable. Aside from my role as business analyst I have worked as a project manager, delivered presentations, facilitated workshops and also provided high level communication.
