GIS/Data Science/Carbon Modeling Intern
Raleigh, NC, USA
Through a wide range of experience and an interest in several concepts across many fields I have developed my passion for fighting climate change and putting all the effort I have into reversing its negative effects. Though I have gifts in mathematics and technology, I greatly value working on a team and within my community, fighting not only climate change but against all social justice issues currently plaguing society. I am pursuing a climate related internship for summer 2021 with a diverse, open-minded interest in anything from GIS, computer and data science, carbon sequestration, regenerative agriculture, to the communication and policy that may be intertwined within any project or mission.

My name is Felipe Barcia, I am a mechanical engineer with more than four years of industry experience. I have had the opportunity to work in a number of interdisciplinary teams involved in sales, project management, process improvement, customer service, and applications engineering. Through these teams I have had the opportunity to cultivate a broad array of skills which I utilize in my current position and have been critical in my development as an engineer . In every position I have held I have been able to meet and exceed the expectations of my supervisors and have worked exceedingly well with both my team members and customer stakeholders. I am now trying to move my skills towards a sustainable career to make a positive impact in my community and the world as a whole.
