Nakari Diaz

Currently, I'm taking a Full-time Diploma in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at BCIT, which is 90% completed. My interest in GIS began when I realized that GIS offers a complete set of tools for gathering, organizing and displaying spatial data from the real world in order to take better decisions. I'm passionate about the applied contributions my new career will provide to furthering the natural resources.

My  current education in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), employing a variety of different software programs and coding languages speak to my capacity to learn quickly, at a high level, and to master new programs and skills. Additionally, this experience speaks to my ability to troubleshoot and solve problems independently, to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team and to communicate effectively, both verbally and in written formats.

I am very organized and very curious, and through my career ,  I realized that I love working with datasets. Therefore, I'm looking for an opportunity to work with GIS where I can use my skills and keep exploring the exciting world of GIS.
