Viewbook 2025: Albany Zavarce Transcript

Hi, my name is Albany Zavarce. I go to the  Gainesville Campus, I'm doing a bachelor's  degree in environmental spatial analysis and I'm  a junior. On campus I'm involved in students for  environmental awareness, and a tour guide. What  I love about my major is I get to see a bunch of  layers in the same place. When I get to do my  maps, I get to find the data, which is hard,  and I problem solve. So, I like the struggle to  go and try and see if I can find a bunch of data  so I can finish my project. Even tough I don't  like AutoCAD, I feel like I have been starting  to like it as the semester goes by because  it's so hard. I just don't understand 2D. 

But now that I get to do it pretty much every  day, now I understand. And I feel like I like  the feeling of like I I think it's a reward  of working hard to like get something. And I  love my major because I love the environment. I  love to be outside and I think more people need  to be aware of what is going on about climate  change and stuff like that. I'd say my advice  for upcoming students will be always ask questions  always and even if you are not sure about raising  your hand in class or like asking for help, I  say just do it because at the end of the day,  the professors are going to look for students  that are doing the extra step and you want to  be that student because you want to have all the  help that you can get. So what comes next for me  will be graduating from 91ÁÔÆæ with my bachelor's.  I want to go ahead and get a master's degree.  I'm still not 100% sure what I would like to  do, but I know I want to get a master's degree.
