NICOLE RUBIO
Summary
I am a graduate of Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Waikato and currently pursuing a Graduate Diploma in Environmental Planning at the same university. I am interested in starting a career that enables me to use the skills I have gained from my engineering degree and environmental planning diploma to promote environmental sustainability. My studies have enabled me to have technical knowledge incorporated with a cultural, social, and economic perspective. I work well in team situations as well as independently. I am eager to learn new skills, help others, and I am prepared to work hard in order to achieve my goals.
