Alumni Speaks - Kimberly Afonso, Assistant Professor (Geology).

 

Kimberly Afonso, 2012 batch, Department of Geology, Smt Parvatibai Chowgule College of Arts and Science, Margao, Goa. 

I had the pleasure of graduating from Chowgules in 2012 from the Department of Geology, under the guidance of highly efficient management and teachers. I went on to complete my Masters in Geology, from Goa University in 2014. I then got an opportunity to teach at Chowgules on a Lecture basis, after which I joined Schlumberger Pvt Ltd and worked in the field of Oil and Gas for 6 years. Currently, I work as an Assistant Professor (Geology) at Dynaprassarak Mandals College and Research Center Assagao Goa.

Being in the field of Geology is always exciting, the subjects learned connects you to earth. It can provide someone with great career choices if one seeks a keen interest in the subject.

At Chowgules one develops the required skills and exposures to face the world. The teachers at the Department, not only do an excellent job at teaching and learning, but they also give much guidance and counseling whenever needed. The practicals, teaching, accompanied by field trips, and of course, the event “Nebula” help students to acquire better knowledge and gain experiential learning.

I shall always cherish having been a part of the department of Geology!
