Olga's Story I became interested in programming when I recognized its ability to accelerate and simplify processes within my area of expertise. I observed how programming and its applications in data science can optimize environmental research and natural resource management, which motivated me to explore this field further. In addition, I realized that programming is a highly demanded skill in today's job market, which can open up employment opportunities and contribute to improving my income and quality of life. The possibility of acquiring programming skills offers me the opportunity to stand out in an increasingly technological and competitive professional environment. I recognize that the ability to automate tasks, analyze data efficiently and develop innovative solutions are crucial in today's context, and programming is the key to achieving these goals.
As part of my training as an environmental engineer, I conducted research for my thesis that explored the relationship between sounds and bird composition in natural environments. During this process, I noticed that other researchers on similar topics employed programming and data science to streamline and optimize their analyses. This observation highlighted the importance of these skills in environmental research, because programming is an aspect in which I lacked expertise, which significantly prolonged my research. Therefore, I recognize the importance of acquiring programming skills, as these tools can facilitate and improve the efficiency of my research. Programming and data science can simplify the interpretation of field-collected data and the analysis of patterns and trends related to bird ecology. In addition, working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in environmental planning and management, I understand that mastering programming can optimize tasks associated with spatial data manipulation and analysis. This knowledge will strengthen my ability to address complex challenges in natural resource management and conservation. In summary, I believe that learning programming will not only broaden my technical skills, but also improve the quality and effectiveness of my contributions to the field of environmental engineering and ecology.
Outside of work, I find great satisfaction in connecting with nature, especially through hiking and birding. At home, I find tranquility in reading and illustration, practices that stimulate my creativity and personal well-being.
