Annelies Nieuwenhuis

"Nature conservation has always interested me and appeared to be a good field of work as it is intrinsically useful and necessary, as well as scientifically supported. Because my studies have dealt mainly with research, I sought to gain experience in working in an office. The internship has more than matched my expectations. I have experienced working in the different departments of a nature conservation organisation and have been able to ascertain which aspects I like. Skills like critical analysis, time-management, organisation and communication were addressed in every project I was involved in. I acquired new skills in writing, which will not only broaden my job prospects, but will also improve my organisational and analytical skills."
