Reviews

Bethany Moss: I have learnt so much about how to measure and assess different types of stress in crops, such as weeds or drought. This will help with my long-term goals of having a career in sustainability, whether that be sustainable resources or water management, or even climate sustainability. The hands-on research I have done with software will allow me to better understand other versions of software that may be used when I begin my career, and will also allow me to suggest new methods of GIS assessments. The role I had in my internship was to research, learn, and use different software and sites and then write a report on whether they are worth using, their costs and benefits, their ease of use, and how they aided end-users. This role benefited the organization as it allowed for other employees to work with clients more efficiently and could potentially lead to them adopting software that will allow them to communicate with their clients and collate data more efficiently. I feel more empowered in my field because I have gained a lot more of an understanding in researching software that will be relevant to my future career plans, and I now know what may be expected of me when researching and writing professional reports on the relevant software and the data they generate.
