Rewarding Aspects of My Job
When I was looking for a job, I was seeking an environment where I could continue to learn and challenge myself. In my experience up until now, I have been able to gradually gain skills needed as a transport planner, while also being able to learn soft skills needed as an international consultant through international business trips and experiencing other cultures and languages.
Also, in my master’s research I used big data to analyze the mobility patterns of travelers. Now, by combining my experiences as student and as transport planner, I am challenging myself to apply it in the area of traffic demand forecasting.
This has become my motivation to try my best to become an international consultant that can contribute to the development of developing countries.
