Interests

As an environmental scientist my passion lies in making sure that sustainable development is practiced and that productivity is being maximized. My focus lies in thinking out of the box and finding new solutions to deal with challenges. I believe in a balance between being sustainable and being able to develop. I am still fairly new in the field of Environmental Management/Sciences but I am a very quick learner. My personal attributes include being good at working and making decisions under pressure as well as being calm and composed. I can make decisions independently but also work well in a team. I am interested in environmental officer work, or similar. I do not mind traveling and I am always up for a challenge. I am very hardworking and committed person and think that I can be of benefit as an Environmental officer.
