      I reviewed relevant literature and online resources on the policy of infectious disease, annual financial reports of firms and profiles of politicians. I located, coded, and collated information about firms’ political lobbying and politician shareholding. The task required the application of intermediate to advanced-level Microsoft Excel skills to analyse and present data timely. I demonstrated a strong commitment to data accuracy and efficiency in managing and analyzing complex data sets using Excel. My attention to detail and effective time management skills enabled me to consistently meet deadlines while maintaining high standards of quality. I effectively communicated findings and collaborated with the Professor to ensure seamless data processing, contributing to the overall success of the project.
