Objective

To be able to utilize & enhance my skills and knowledge in the field of Environmental Sciences, in order to create my own environmental company in the future. 

Background

I am an Environmental Engineer currently working as a sampling technician in Gruentec Cía. Ltda, an environmental laboratory located in Quito, Ecuador.

I have worked in public and private companies, where I had the opportunity to perform water, soil and gaseous emission sampling, physical-chemical and instrumental analysis, the examination of the operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment plants and the study of environmental impact assessments and environmental management plans.

Though most of my experience is in environmental sampling and analysis in the laboratory, I would also like to learn about other fields in my career.

Through my training and work experience, I have learned general environmental management, environmental laboratory analysis and environmental sampling. I would like to carry out a professional internship in the United States related to environmental sciences, to gain more experience and look at my career from a different perspective.
