I quickly took a liking to the human side of geography and urban development in particular. Shortly after the end of my first year in university, I heard about the Government Bursary for the Department of Planning and I was immediately interested. Fortunately I was awarded the bursary and the following summer I began working with the Department of Planning as a summer student. My work as a summer student taught me a lot, not only about the planning profession but also about Bermuda and how our island has developed. Now, after graduation from university in May 2020 I have returned to work for the Department full time and I look forward to continuing to grow and develop my skills as a young professional&#8217;.<\/em><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing our new series &#8216;Staff Spotlight&#8217; \u00a0We are pleased to introduce Malik Richards, the Department&#8217;s bursary student who has just graduated with his Bachelors Degree in Geography from Saint Mary&#8217;s University!\u00a0A word from Malik:&#8216;After graduation from Warwick Academy, I decided to pursue geography as my university degree, because I always enjoyed the subject and how &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/staff-spotlight-meet-malik-richards\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Staff Spotlight &#8211; Meet Malik Richards&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-department-of-planning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1435"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1446,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1435\/revisions\/1446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planning.gov.bm\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
