The one you need on your team.

Over the last several years I've been fortunate to have several diverse roles in the field of GIS. From GIS intern to Application Developer, I've done it all! This broad range of experiences has not only given me a diverse skillset but also a welcoming attitude toward new adventures. I'm a big believer that being a positive and contributing member of a team is extremely important and try to manifest this in every-day life. Overall, my intrinsic motivation to learn and solve problems makes me an invaluable asset to any team looking to attack issues with spatial solutions.
