Summary

I am a final year student actively seeking opportunities within the GIS sector, although I'm open to roles where my transferable skills could be of value. My immediate objective is to apply my academic knowledge to practical situations, continuously learn, and excel both in studies and work. I am determined to evolve into a reliable asset for any organization I join.

My passion lies in leveraging my skills to create a more equitable world, specifically for those who may be less fortunate. I am eager to apply my GIS knowledge to help individuals navigate their surroundings with greater ease and independence.

In addition to my GIS expertise, I have also become proficient in sign language. This skill not only enables me to communicate effectively with the deaf and hard-of-hearing community but also embodies my commitment to inclusivity and making a positive difference. I look forward to integrating these skills and experiences to contribute to an organization's mission while further developing my professional abilities.
