What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a GIS Assistant internship to gain practical experience in on-screen digitization, spatial data editing, GIS dataset management, and project-specific GIS workflows.

I've applied GIS, remote sensing, and environmental data collection through Geography and Environmental Studies coursework at the University of Chittagong, including spatial analysis, thematic mapping, and satellite-image interpretation.

During a 2025 Sundarbans ecosystem assessment, I participated in field observation and data collection covering air and water-quality indicators, soil, and sediment characteristics. I organized observations and contributed to academic reports, while additional field studies examined Maheshkhali Island landforms and the environmental impact of shipbreaking in Kumira.

I've also worked as a Communication Intern and Graphic Designer at YSSE, producing visual materials and collaborating to meet deadlines. I'm seeking a GIS Assistant internship where I can develop practical experience in digitization, spatial data editing, and GIS dataset management.
