To Whom it may concern

I am interested in any opportunities such as jobs, internships, and shadowing positions that are related to environmental remediation and environmental chemistry. I particularly want to work with water and water quality.

My name is Timothy Pagan, and I anticipate graduating in 2017 with a B.S in Environmental Science from Stockton University in Galloway New Jersey. Environmental remediation and lab work are both top career prospects of mine because of my love and interest for the environment, and science

Throughout college as an Environmental Science student, I have learned much about the natural environment and the different interconnecting relationships and functions within the environment. I have gained an effective amount of knowledge about the environment. I have also learned to think more like a scientist and I continue to gain skill and knowledge. Applying my knowledge is something that I have been successful with. I am knowledgeable of the different flora and fauna. In my personal time I do my own research on the environment, and I’m particularly interested in environmental. I have a deep interest in the environment and science.

I feel that I am great working in a team setting, and great working with little to no supervision. I’m a good listener who is not afraid to ask questions. I am extremely organized, I am always on time, and I love working with others and also independently. I have good communication skills, and I listen to what others have to say. I can write a well-written paper to display data, research, findings, ideas and arguments.

With this cover letter please find enclosed my current resume. I hope that you will consider my application and I would welcome a phone call so that we might be able to set up an interview. If you need any further information then please do not hesitate to contact me. I thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
