S U M M A RY
An extremely motivated and capable individual with a passion for the
environment seeking a career opportunity where I can contribute to the
advancement of scientific research while protecting the environment for the
preservation of native wildlife species. Willingness to endure varying degrees
of hardship while conducting data collection is just one of my strengths. A
determined attitude and a passion for wildlife as well as a love of the
outdoors are additional qualities that I can offer in the performance of duties.
As a research assistant I was able to experience the practical application of
my education and it has fueled my excitement for my chosen career. Always
professional, positive and productive I would welcome the opportunity to
discuss a position that will allow me to satisfy my inquisitive nature while
utilizing my varied skill set.
