As a Bachelor of Geospatial Science and Land Management graduate from the University of the South Pacific, my strong interest in field research and data collection motivated me to pursue this internship, further developing my skills and knowledge through practical experience. It represents an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while enhancing my expertise.

During my internship, I focused on improving my research and data analysis skills, enhancing communication with various organisations, and conducting baseline assessments for farmers. Leveraging my GIS background, I contributed by mapping specific areas to support project planning and ensure location accuracy, all while promoting sustainable practices.

My experience at SPC has helped refine my surveying and assessment skills, strengthen my communication abilities, and enhance my capacity to work collaboratively within a team.

The internship has provided valuable opportunities to enhance my research and data analysis skills, improve communication with other organisations, and broaden my understanding of conducting baseline assessments for farmers.
