net Dear Sir / Dear Madam: Having conceptualized and conducted ground-breaking research such as the economi c value of wildlife habitats, how water levels affect the recreational value of rivers, and the economic, hydrological and environmental impacts of interbasin w ater transfers, I am seeking the opportunity to join an organization such as you rs as an Economic Analyst. With undergraduate instructional experience, experien ce in state government, and 15 years of experience as an Economist in an influen tial policy think tank, I am confident in my ability to generate superior result s for your team. I currently am an Adjunct Associate Professor of Economics, as well as a certifi ed high school mathematics instructor. As a Research Assistant and Ph.D. candida te at Texas A&M University, I was named a Texas Sea Grant Fellow and researched several economic and environmental issues. Sample accomplishments in these and o ther roles include: * Introducing new concepts and theories to students unfamiliar with economics, t ailoring course content and teaching style in response to diverse student base, area school district needs and college requirements. * Developing a method for modeling a complicated economic phenomenon into a trac table but highly efficient model for economic, statistical and simulation analys is, leveraging computer modeling techniques learned from GAMS programming specia list Dr. Bruce McCarl. * Utilizing computer programming modeling to analyze economic, hydrological and environmental effects of interbasin water transfers. * Presenting the research methodology and results to the Texas Commission on Env ironmental Quality at its 8th Biennial Bay Symposium and to a federal research p rogram. * Analyzing the ancillary impact of a Korean economic policy known as the Real N ame Financial Transaction System and suggesting alternatives implemented by the government. As someone passionate about environmental justice, I have pioneered assessments of the economic impact of environmental projects and policies. For a more detail ed presentation of my skills and experience, please refer to the enclosed resume and feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your co nsideration.
