Hi all, I am engaged in a search for job opportunities available for an entry level (approximately 1 year of professional experience) environmental professional. I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada, but am willing to relocate (with or without employer assistance) for a new position as an environmental consultant, technician, scientist, or educator.
I am 24, hold a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from Northern Arizona University and am in the process of completing a second semester of graduate level coursework in Ecology at the University of Nevada. I will be enrolling, part-time, in an online GIS program this fall to earn a graduate level certificate. While at UNLV, I have excelled in classes such as soil classification and resource management, biogeography, and ecosystem and community ecology. I have also been a very successful teaching assistant instructing two sections of an introductory biology lab each semester. I spent March through August of 2012 with the Bureau of Land Management as a Conservation and Land Management Intern, a program facilitated by the Chicago Botanic Garden. In this position, I supported restoration projects by monitoring the effectiveness of rehabilitation techniques using GPS, collecting native plant material for the Seeds of Success program, assisting in small mammal trapping, and instructing in an environmental youth education program. I have also held several other seasonal positions including being a field botanist, an environmental consulting intern, and an outdoor camp naturalist. I also became HAZWOPER certified through an accredited 40 hour program during December, 2012. If anyone knows of any potential opportunities, contacts, or just has some helpful advice on this sort of search, please let me know! I will gladly send my resume, unofficial transcripts, references, and any other information to those who request it. Thank you! Krista J. Butler BS Environmental Science, NAU 2010 kristajbut...@gmail.com
