Overview of Role

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

My role involved a day shadowing members of the team to learn what they do and the procedures involved especially in the first 2-3 weeks. As time went on, I got assigned some routine tasks to complete on a day-to-day.
