Rather than an experience, I would call it a tale—a journey of growth and transformation. One of the most valuable lessons BVIEER has taught me is the importance of discipline, time management, and presenting yourself with utmost confidence.
My journey began from knowing almost nothing about GIS to reaching a point where I completed my thesis on Urban Heat Island (UHI) modeling, a study with the potential to benefit urban planners in designing sustainable cities. Not only that, but I also had the privilege to present my film and thesis, Green oases amidst concrete jungle at the University of Cologne.
Looking back, I see how much I’ve evolved, from the exciting field visits and moments of fun to learning from the best mentors. As the saying goes, “GIS is the science of where it connects data to geography and people to insights.” This journey has truly been a testament to that.
