I believe that Business Admin helps me in my role, as it teaches me good communication styles and helps me understand and reflect on past experiences and how i can improve them in the future.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We have a work sports day that i am looking to attend and i will keep a look out on the intranet page to see anymore opportunities.
