Geographer & Geospatial Data Analyst
National Geospatial Technical Operations Center
Hydrography Operations
U.S. Geological Survey
As a geographer, environmental scientist, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) professional, I hold a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science, a GIS certification, and specialize in geospatial analysis. My expertise also encompasses fluvial and coastal geomorphology and estuarine ecology.
​
In February 2022, I joined the U.S. Geological Survey's Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center (GECSC) in Denver, CO as a GIS Technician. Notably, my team and I created the first publicly available polygon dataset of large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSPV) installations in the United States. Access our research, map viewer, and project data through the U.S. Photovoltaic Database and my portfolio page. In February 2024, I joined the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center's (NGTOC) Hydrography Operations as a geographer where my duties include production and quality assurance of The National Map's surface water data under the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP).
​
My technical proficiency lies in environmental geospatial analysis, environmental modeling, and cartographic design. I am skilled in utilizing both commercial and open-source GIS software, GIS relational database management systems, interpreting high-resolution satellite imagery and aerial photography, and technical scientific writing. These competencies equip me for roles in GIS, geospatial research, and environmental data analysis.
