My best career training

Hello bloggers!
Today I will talk about my best career training. It is very difficult to choose only one, since in my four years studying I lost track of all the trips we have had. I can easily say that there have been more than twenty practices, between going as a student, assistant and support for research teachers.

I will talk about practice two, this was when I was in the second year of my career, in the year 2018 (summer period) and we went to Malleco. This place is in the Araucania region, in the province of Malleco, near to Curacutín.

We stayed at this beautiful place for a week in a stayed at a school. From which we traveled every day to the Malleco National Reserve and one day we went to the Malalcahuello national reserve.
In general, the theme of this activity was the characterization and analysis of the main types of forests. Mainly, old forests, of the genus Nothofagus, composed of Nothofagus dombeyi (Coihue), Nothofagus alpina (Raulí) and Nothofagus obliqua (Roble) and other pure formation of Nothofagus antarctica (Ñirre). And exceptionally we visited a formation of Araucaria Araucana (Pewen).  We evaluate the dynamics of these forests, all the changes that occur after these natural processes such as landslides, fires or after volcanic eruptions.

I think this has been one of the best practices for the places we visited, everything learned, the people who went and the tranquility granted by these majestic forests.

In addition, I tell you that when we were leaving this place I said that I was going back and I did it, the following year I returned as an assistant. It was an equally good experience and now I understood much better everything they had taught me before.

what has been your best career training?

Post Graduate Studies

Hey! What’s up!

Today I am going to tell you that in the near future I would like to do a master's degree. 

I am very interested in a master's degree offered at my university, which is "Wild Areas and Nature Conservation".

Nature has always attracted my attention, since I was little and I grew up with the idea of studying something related to it. This is why I came to study forest engineering and now that I am here, I want to give a little more, take this magister as a specialty in the field of nature protection.

Since this option is presented so near, I would like to study in Chile. But I don't rule out the idea of doing a PhD in another country in the future. But I would first like to work a few years, raise some money and have more clarity about what I want to do the rest of my life or a little part of it. The country to which I would go to do this PhD is not clear, but I would like to go to a country that resembles Chile in terms of vegetation. Like Spain, Australia, New Zealand or something like that.

I would like to study with a system similar to the current one for master’s degree, which consists of regular classes throughout the week, to make good use of my time. While thinking about the PhD, I would like it to be partial, in order to have time to know the country and maybe have a job in parallel.

And you would like to do post graduate studies?

My future job

Hello bloggers! How are you?

Today I will talk about my future work.

I would like to work in the area of environmental law control, developing in state institutions, such as SAG, CONAF, SNASPE, among others. I would like to be a support to the country in environmental theme, like as in the review that the environmental compensation that big projects must make is carried out in a good way. 

I imagine this job must be difficult, since integrate many areas, It includes vegetation, flora, fauna, land use, restrictions of various types such as, amount of pollution emitted by industries, maximum amount of noise emissions, including maximum number of floors that can have a construction. but I like challenges!

I would like to do a master's degree, in conservation and protected wild areas, to be able to expand my knowledge in this area and do a better future work. Since to preserve first you have to know. 

I particularly like plants, their diversity and their contribution to this world, so I feel it is very important to protect them and for this it is very relevant that a correct human-environment interaction occurs. As I like plants, I like to travel and see them; I love the days of work in the field and knowing the great diversity that our country is home to.

I honestly do not see money as something very relevant, with which my salary reaching to live comfortably as long as I can develop in what I like, I am happy. 

And you, what would you like to work on?
