I first discovered my passion for spatial data during my undergraduate years at the University of Washington, where I earned a B.S. in Geology. After taking courses in remote sensing and GIS, I pursued a Master’s in Geographic Information Science and Technology at USC's Spatial Science Institute, graduating in May 2023. My research focused on analyzing tree canopy cover change in LA parks using remote sensing and spatial analysis techniques.

Professionally, I’ve had the opportunity to apply GIS in diverse fields:

• GIS Consultant at The Concord Group – Prototyped a current/past project explorer application using Survey123 and ArcGIS Experience Builder.

• GIS Analyst III at Hexvarium – Led a project on the Broadband Equity, Access, and Development (BEAD) initiative, redesigning the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to ensure broadband investments reached the communities that needed them most.

• Facilities Senior Planner at WSDOT – Currently working on a 50-year strategic plan for WSDOT-owned facilities, leveraging ArcGIS Pro to analyze how transportation infrastructure supports the agency’s broader mission.

Outside of work, I’m the lead organizer of Maptime Seattle (MaptimeSEA), where I help plan and deliver monthly GIS and cartography tutorials. Through MaptimeSEA, I aim to create an inclusive space where people can learn, experiment, and share knowledge about GIS, cartography, and geospatial coding—whether they’re new to the field or experienced professionals.

I’m always excited to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas with fellow spatial technology enthusiasts. Feel free to reach out!
