Geographer
Geospatial Analyst
Scientific Technical Writer
As a geographer, GIS professional, and scientific technical writer, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to environmental data and spatial analysis. I hold a Master of Science in Geography and Environmental Sciences, along with a GIS certification, and specialize in geospatial analysis with a particular focus on 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. 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 I supported the production and quality assurance of The National Map's surface water data under the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP), and developed user guides, workflows, tutorials, and training materials. Today, I serve as the Senior GIS Hydrographer for Aerial Services, Inc., where I build GIS workflows for hydrology projects, manage and QA/QC spatial data for LiDAR, imagery, and GIS automation, and support project planning and tool development.
