Career Objective
I would like to begin a career in the environmental science field while applying
knowledge from classes at the University of South Florida into real life scenarios.
I am
very motivated and passionate about furthering my understanding of how
environmental
sciences effect our society. I work well with others and am a skilled team
leader. I also
work well on my own. Ideally I would like to find a job position that would
allow me to
learn new skills in a business setting while still utilizing my current skills.
Education
Recently I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelors of Science
Degree in Environmental Science and Policy. I have past job experience which
includes
working as an intern for Giraffe Ranch in Dade City. There I gained
valuable knowledge
about the environmental impact of zoos as well as the business
function of them. During
my work and internship I was able to apply what Ive
learned in several classes to my
professional life. Some of the specialized classes I
have excelled in include:
-Environmental Policy
-Forest Ecology and Management
-Research Methods
-Plant Identification
-Climate Change
-Global Conservation
-Environmental Regulation
-Environmental Ethics
