Personal Statement

To pursue my career as an outstanding professional in a challenging and dynamic environment where I can develop and boost my skills by complementing technical knowledge with practical experience. I like to be hard-working and try my best to be reliable in my daily business. I spent a challenging life and resulting enjoyed to overcoming these challenges which developed my confidence. I prefer to be consistent in the goals that I set for myself

Introduction

I have completed a BSc in Agricultural Engineering at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad. I am working on remote sensing and GIS. I have completed an internship in the Agriculture Remote Sensing Lab hosted by the University of Agriculture Faisalabad. First of all, I learned about the Arc GIS software. I collected soil samples throughout the district of Chiniot in Pakistan. After I determined the pH and EC of the soil. I made maps on Arc GIS.
