What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply GIS and data analysis to real operations while supporting IT systems end-to-end—turning spatial data, reporting, and troubleshooting into reliable outcomes.

I’m a GIS & Data Analyst / IT Support Specialist who builds and maintains critical spatial maps and geographic databases for local government operations. I use ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, and QGIS to design, develop, and manage geospatial resources that support real-world decision-making.

I also bring analytical rigor to property and tax assessment work—conducting cost studies, property evaluations, and sales questionnaires, then analyzing market data to update county cost modifiers annually. Alongside that, I configure and deploy hardware, handle systems & network administration, and troubleshoot enterprise equipment (workstations, printers, mobile tablets, and NAS) to minimize downtime.
