Current Master of Geographic Information Science student at the University of Minnesota. I'm
passionate about understanding both the causes and impacts of climate change. I’m interested in
water resources management, renewable energy, remote sensing, severe weather, and science
communication.
Previously, I provided technical support and administration for nonprofit and higher education
institutions. I like to solve problems and improve my team’s ability to solve future ones. As a
freelance consultant, I also assist small orgs and individuals with communications, operations,
file management, and other technical solutions. I’m a Master Gardener Intern in the Hennepin
County Master Gardener Program, and I help run a community garden in South Minneapolis.
The quality of my work is driven by my attention to detail, personal integrity, flexible
thinking, and commitment to outcome. Find a link to my resume in the top menu bar.

As a current graduate student, I'm focused on developing a solid foundation of technical and
professional skills in GIS and Remote Sensing. So far in 2024, I have been lucky enough to
attend the Minnesota GIS/LIS Conference, the Institute on the Environment's Annual Meeting, the
Robert R. Borchert Spatial Forum, and the international climate conference COP29 (as a virtual
observer).
I hope to work with colleagues across the Department of Geography, Environment &
Society, the College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the Minnesota Climate
Adaptation Partnership.
I also look forward to continuing my work with the Big Ten Academic Alliance's Geospatial
Information Network. This collaborative project champions open source values and best practices
in data sharing, a mission I'm honored to support and benefit from. I hope to find more ways to
contribute to open source systems and datasets such as Open Street Maps and the QGIS community.
