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

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoyed working with the other colleagues within the program and get to know other colleagues in other areas of the UK that I would never have interacted with. It really helped bring us together and work as a team.
