I build GIS datasets and spatial analyses for environmental planning challenges.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building GIS datasets, conducting spatial analysis, and producing cartographic layouts as a GIS Center Student Worker at Western Illinois University.
My project work includes satellite-derived urban heat analysis for Chicago, flood risk modeling for Houston, school site suitability analysis in Crawford County, and agricultural spatial analysis in Georgia.
Before returning to graduate school, I supported environmental compliance investigations, sustainability reporting, and environmental indicator monitoring at Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly. I also monitored aircraft operations at Ghana Airport Company and supported climate data collection and forecasting at Ghana Meteorological Agency.
I'm completing an M.S. in GIS and apply ArcGIS Pro, remote sensing, GPS mapping, raster and vector analysis, and data quality control to real-world environmental and planning work.
