Summary
Since graduating in Geography, I have worked as a ski instructor and have developed leadership, teaching and communication skills, and can confidently work autonomously as well as being a constructive member of a team. My Ranger internship at Auckland Regional Council strengthened my biodiversity monitoring, conflict resolution and people skills. I am excited to now transfer this valuable skill set to a career in environmental management.
