GIS, Remote Sensing & Climate Advocacy

About Me

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.

Career Development Plan

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.
