Hiring Committee
Dear Hiring Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in an entry-level position in meteorology or environmental science within your organization. As a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Jackson State University and a GIS Certification earned through the Esri online program, I bring a strong combination of academic training and practical experience to support data-driven environmental solutions and community-focused initiatives.Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have gained valuable skills through research and internship experiences. At the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program, I analyzed atmospheric data and contributed to studies on climate variability and extreme weather. During my GIS internship with the Texas Environmental Quality Commission, I maintained and analyzed geospatial data to support climate and meteorological research. My volunteer work with the National Weather Service in Jackson, MS, further deepened my understanding of forecast operations, severe weather response, and public outreach.I am passionate about using science and technology to protect communities and the environment. I am proficient in ArcGIS Pro, remote sensing tools, and meteorological software, with strong skills in data analysis, cartographic design, and report writing. As a member of both the American Meteorological Society and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., I value service, leadership, and continued growth. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my skills, passion, and work ethic to your team. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to discuss how I can support your mission.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Janae Goodwin
