I have been working with Karen within the quality area in Coloplast. Karen is a happy person, who is enthusiastic about her work. Karen is very interested in new things e.g. technology and IT systems. Karen is also an extrovert person, who gets inspired by talking with other peoples. Among others Karen tries to bring value to the company she works in, by applying the ideas, she has got from speaking with other people.

      I have successfully completed my Six Sigma Green Belt education! It was about verifying if a test method (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) was fit for its purpose: To test and release specific raw materials. It included planning and designing experiments, and use of statistical tools to evaluate and give evidence. Along the way, I also established improvements to the sample preparation and testing. It was a lot of work, but fun!
