Dear Mr. Duane,

My name is Sabrina Garcia and I am planning on becoming a student attending UC Santa
Cruz as an environmental studies major. I would like to take this opportunity to present
myself as a viable candidate as an intern for your upcoming research project I know that
you will be heading.

Throughout my high school career, I have undergone countless AP and Honor classes
that have trained me to be a skilled and focused student who knows how to concentrate
her energies on academics for a long period of time. My success within my Marine
Biology Honors and AP Calculus classes would enable me to bring the factual aspect
about science and merge it with the math skills Calculus has instilled within me and
would be a valuable addition to your research group.

Since I am set to become an environmental studies major once I begin school in the fall, I
am already searching for research opportunities that I know will help develop me into the
confident and prepared student for life after graduation. Being apart of your research
group would help me gain experience within the field and help develop me as a whole.

I look forward to possibly speaking to you about this opportunity in the future and being
given the chance to experience things within my major first hand. If you would like, you
may reach me at my personal line (209) 658-5476, or may email me at
biinagarcia@gmail.com. Thank you again for you time.


Sincerely,



Sabrina Garcia
