Personal Statement
I am a highly motivated and passionate graduate with over 1 year’s GIS experience in the maritime
industry including marine and coastal developments, marine aggregate extraction, offshore
renewables, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), river and coastal flood management and
contaminated land. My determination, excellent communication skills, analytical, organised, quick
learning and hard working nature are assets I always bring to my work. I am planning to complete an
MSc in Engineering Geology and associated training in order to further my career in the fields of
geological and environmental hazards, contaminated land, geological and hazard mapping. My career
goal is to gain a position as an engineering geologist in order to contribute towards development by
understanding and applying the knowledge of earth’s properties and processes.
