Headshot

GIS Professional | Developer | UAS Pilot

I love maps! In fact, I have loved maps my whole life and now I have the joy of making them. Whether creating clean simple visualizations, conducting complex analysis, or collecting data in the field by drone or on foot I am happy to be flexing my spatial intelligence in support of your project.

GIS/UAS is my second career. I have extensive experience in nonprofit management and higher education leadership. Because of this background, I am uniquely suited to support projects in the public sector. I also grew up in a family that ran a small business and worked in that business throughout my young life. So while the bulk of my experience is in the public sector, I do know a thing or two about private business. Ultimately, I have a reputation for learning new fields and industries quickly and for my skill at drawing on my broad experience to develop effective solutions.

I have always been motivated by helping people and organizations meet their goals. I excel at designing tools and processes that help make your work easier. I enjoy providing mission-critical data and information that helps you make informed decisions. I love taking care of the complicated technical stuff, freeing you to do what you do best.
