Geographer
Geospatial Analyst
Scientific Technical Writer
As a geographer, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) professional, and scientific technical writer, I hold a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science, a GIS certification, and specialize in geospatial analysis. My expertise also encompasses water systems.
​
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 included production and quality assurance of The National Map's surface water data under the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP), and developing user guides, workflows, tutorials, and training materials.
​
My technical proficiency lies in environmental geospatial analysis, environmental modeling, cartographic design, scientific technical writing and editing, and product training. I am skilled in utilizing both commercial and open-source GIS software, GIS relational database management systems, and remote sensing technologies, including aerial and terrestrial LiDAR and multi-spectral imagery.
