To whom it may concern,

My name is Rodney Beall, and I am a recent graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I want to be involved immediately in the national and international discussion of creating sustainability in the human-environment relationship, and I believe that I can become a valuable voice in that discussion.

In my third year at Boulder, I changed from Pre-Medicine to Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, realizing that the best way to strive toward human health is to seek a broader systemic health: that of our planet. I began travelling internationally at that same time, because as a global citizen I feel that our solutions must come from an international effort. I’ve travelled to Ghana, West Africa and to Latin America five times, working to learn many different cultures, and develop full Spanish fluency.

After college I worked for Botanist Tamara Naumann at Dinosaur National Monument, leading efforts to educate volunteer groups and restore riparian habitat for native plant and animal species. Under Ms. Naumann, I was able to learn about the role of government in research and policy-making regarding our precious natural resources.

I moved to New York City looking for the next step, and I hope that I can find it with Ecology and Environment, Inc. With my energy, solid education, and international experience, I believe I can be a positive member of the team.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please call me at 303-829-3670 or email rodneybeall@gmail.com to arrange a convenient time when we can meet to further discuss my background and your organization. I look forward to talking to you soon.

Sincerely,
Rodney Beall
