OBJECTIVE: To secure a summer internship as an entry level landman with a successful and thriving
company. I wish to use my expertise in management and communications, to gain the knowledge needed
to pursue a great career as a professional landman.
SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS: Administrating water rights, crop production and sale, equipment
maintenance and repair, and an overall knowledge of general land management are skills I have been able

me the knowledge of administration, financials, and communication skills, which will be an asset to your

owner and operator of a comp any proves my leadership skills and how I am viewed by others.
