I participated in the collection and analysis of data, preparation of the presentation, and assisted in facilitating communication with managers across the plant using my translation skills. I also participated in the final presentation. • Due to German skills and being a native English speaker I was often asked to support my co-workers, as well as the Communications, Factory Management and HR departments, with writing or translating of documents, emails and presentations. • I created reports on a monthly basis of the KPI's of several departments of the factory as well as a report on Daimler’s performance each quarter.
