      Good afternoon.
      I am currently taking a GIS intro course and I am very interested in the topic and would like to grow.
      I might conceder doing a masters in the GIS field. Nonetheless, an internship would come in handy, and if you have any reference to available internships I will greatly appreciate it.
      Thank you,
      -Luis R.
