About Me

I'm a GIS Developer at Olsson, specializing in workflow automation, geospatial analysis, and application development to solve complex spatial challenges. I work extensively with ArcGIS Pro, Python, SQL, and remote sensing platforms to build high-performance tools for automating spatial workflows and supporting fiber-network market analysis and design.

I hold a Master's in Geography with a concentration in GIS&T from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. My research earned the GRACA Project Award for spatiotemporal analysis of NOx emissions using TROPOMI satellite data. I also taught over 150 students in Human-Environment Geography labs at UNO, emphasizing hands-on learning, inclusivity, and real-world applications.

I contributed to the Omaha Spatial Justice Project as a GIS Technician — digitizing historical land parcels, reviewing legal documents, and building a geodatabase identifying homes with racially restrictive covenants in Douglas County. This work deepened my commitment to using GIS as a tool for social equity.

With a proven record of delivering scalable GIS solutions, I'm passionate about bridging technical expertise with practical impact — and always open to connecting with professionals who share my enthusiasm for solving spatial problems.
