Personal Statement

A recent graduate with a B.S. in Geography/Environmental Studies and M.A. in Global Sustainability, and am actively seeking employment.


I am a passionate individual who welcomes challenges and transforms them into opportunities. My combined educational and experiential skill set endows me with unique abilities, which enable me to think and act at the Nexus Level (Systems Thinking), where separate yet interrelated systems meet and also where the answers to many of present and future challenges also reside.


I hope to obtain an entry-level position within the Environmental/Sustainability field(s) that offers enough flexibility such as to satisfy my desire for a challenge, as well as foster my perpetual desire for continuing education, intellectual growth, and expanding knowledge bases.
