GIS Technician, Analyst, Field technician, Rodman

Cover letter For GIS Technician

If I want to maintain my relation with the nature, I must open my mind to new ways of thinking about innovation. I ‘m reminded of the debate raging among mountain climbers, pitting those who subscribe to the traditional slow- and –steady expedition approach against those who practice the light – and – fast style. I consider myself as a newcomer and I bring different gear and climbing techniques to the mountain, along with a different mind-set. Free of legacy thinking and with little to lose, I approach the challenge not in terms of “conquering” a mountain but with a sense of respect and a desire to engage and merge with it.

As a GIS Technician, I will bring Two years of experience that included studying erosional and depositional processes related to hydrology, riparian and vegetation. I helped the hydrologist to determine river stability and sediment supply by applying pebble count techniques. Use remote sensing data sets (e.g. existing digital elevation models derived from LiDAR and aerial photos, etc.) in study design, and data analysis and interpretation

I’m motivated and have the ability to work under wide variety of stressful conditions. I am a team player and believe that we are unique individuals but also co- dependent on each other.
