What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a GIS role where I can own accurate geospatial data for utilities or infrastructure, collaborate with field teams, and deliver maps and analysis that support planning, public agencies, and emergency readiness.

I’m a Geographic Information Systems specialist with ten years of experience mapping for utilities, infrastructure, local planning & development, government agencies, and more. I create, maintain, and analyze geospatial datasets, producing accurate, clear, and aesthetically appealing maps.

I’ve worked across multiple Esri and non-Esri environments, including GE Smallworld and myWorld/MyWorld/IQGeo, and I’m experienced in ensuring data accuracy and consistency across platforms. In fast-paced situations, I support field crews during severe weather events by synthesizing multiple data sources for reliable damage assessment and rebuilding updates.

As a GIS Manager, I led geospatial analysis, data presentation, map creation, and field data collection for public utilities and local development across nine counties. I bring an emphasis on best practices, quality standards, and communication—so stakeholders and field personnel can trust and use the information quickly.
