“Undoubtedly, the skills I have acquired through this internship have empowered me to enhance the strength and impact of my resume. The comprehensive training and hands-on experience in areas such as native and invasive plant identification, invasive plant removal techniques, geo-mapping, trail maintenance, and proficiency in utilizing a variety of manual hand tools have significantly bolstered my professional qualifications. With these newfound skills, I am confident in presenting a stronger and more compelling resume to potential employers.”
