Passionate for solving critical probelms to make people's lives easier.

Using the tools, data, and software I have available to me to aid in decision-making is part of what helps me play a strong role in the geospatial community and the community around me. Taking a project from start to finish while learning about myself and the people I work with along the way makes work all the more enjoyable.

My main interests are in conservation, sustainability, and resource management in order to create a better future for myself and those around me. I also believe that there is always more that you can learn, and I believe I have proved that by always learning more and applying myself through online courses such as ESRI's Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs). I have completed the following ESRI MOOCs:

  • Spatial Data Science: The New Frontier in Analytics

  • Going Places with Spatial Analysis

  • Do-It-Yourself Geo Apps

  • Cartography

  • Imagery in Action


Other courses I have completed:

  • Enterprise GIS Made Easy


I also plan to complete the courses below to further expand my geospatial skillset:

  • Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis

  • Mapping and Data Visualization with Python

  • Geospatial Data Science with Python: Data Visualization

  • Geospatial Data Science with Python: Geopandas

  • Automating GIS Workflows with QGIS

  • Enterprise GIS Made Easy

  • Google Tools for GIS applications

  • Google Earth Engine for Water Resources Management

  • Introduction to Spatial Databases with PostGIS and QGIS 3
