Emendata

Letter

• With this letter, I am applying for a position in the master of science in water resources engineering, offered at interuniversity programme of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and KU Leuven.

• With my current experience as an environmental engineering, I wish to expand my technical knowledge of manage fresh water resources and turn my focus towards safeguard the water needs for future generations and make better decisions to save the water.

• I would like to develop new techniques to improve local policies for water management.

• By reading the course curriculum available online, I have found that the subject material covered will best suit my career goals.

• Lastly, the prospect of participating in a mandatory exchange program is an excellent way to observe divergent information systems, as well as build upon my cultural cognizance.

• First of all, in Chile the water is not public and it is in hands of private companies.

• Furthermore, we need to pay high prices to get water and the after treatment of waste water.

• In these companies are common that they don’t have good policy to ensure the water, on top of that, they have water rights forever and a poor treatment for the waste water.

• The purpose to study this master is because I want to better my understanding water resources engineering, improve in water management, and to learn how to contribute to change this old policy and how we implemented new and good policies to lower the water scarcity that we live around the world.

• Secondly, I specialize in circular economy projects and provide decision support solutions to large and little scale.

• As part of my role I liaise with clients regarding their environmental management objectives for the companies, create and update solutions to capture their behaviors, assist with technical data quality management, produces insightful reports.

• I also was financed by the Production Fomenting Corporation – CORFO of Chilean government to development a prototype of water distiller based on obsolete electric kettles, project 19SEC-112562 of the "Join the Circular Economy" fund.

• My responsibility, diligence and management aptitude were integral to the role; however, it was clear that my progress was decelerated by my lack of technical, specifically in waters resources engineering training.

• I graduated with a Bachelor of Environmental Engineer from Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Chile.

• During my degree, I was very active in many facets of university life.

• I was directive member of the first center of students of environmental engineering career, I was member of the team sport of tennis of the university, furthermore, I was highly committed to the development of a university tennis club for women.

• Taking over the tennis committee in my first semester I had plans on developing the club to be a self-sustaining, award-winning, and socially interactive club.

• Forming a committee of women’s tennis enthusiasts, our club achieved all of the aforementioned goals within the duration of my degree and were awarded numerous accolades.

• Lastly, with all of the responsibilities at hand, I remained vigilant with my academic performance and the university gave me a diploma for my outstanding sports career, listed in my up-to-date resume.

• On the other hands I organize the congress of confederation of environmental science students in 2014.

• Further to this, in 2013 I remained engaged in university affairs by working volunteering in a sustainable work program in Mapuche communities from the south of my country.

• In this program, my duties varied from made a native reforestation to reach more variety of trees that existed in the zone, until teach composting to the students of the rural school where we were staying.

• Currently I actively participate in the association of women in engineering, where we seek to generate a network of contacts at the national level and also strengthen our professional skills along with making visible the outstanding women at the national level in engineering.

• My ambition to study in Belgium stems from a dearth of equivalent professional programs offered in Chile.

• With this degree I would like to meet this demand and, in the future, be a pioneer develop, management and protection of water resources.

• Furthermore, Belgium geographic location and current economic strength attract industry experts from around the world.

• With the notion of idea-sharing in mind, this would be a perfect ground to establish the next step of my professional career.

• With all of my experience listed, I am in search of bringing my career to the next level.
