Dominic Parenti

I am a recent graduate from Drew University where I studied Environmental Studies & Sustainability. Over the last six years, I have gained valuable skills and qualities such as leadership, effective communication, and friendly collaboration. I have first-hand experience tutoring children, working with lab equipment, and getting my hands dirty restoring environments to their rightful, pristine conditions. 
I am currently looking for a job related to the fields of environmental scientist or environmental technician, where I hope to utilize these skills and those I possess working with certain computer softwares like Microsoft Office tools and ArcGIS.
