At Dominion Forestry, I create and maintain GIS datasets and maps for forest management plans, timber sales, stand delineation, and property boundaries. I analyze parcel, imagery, terrain, hydrology, and forest stand data in ArcGIS Pro to support management and operational decisions.

I also developed Python tools that automate LiDAR terrain analysis and identify potential streams, drainages, and Streamside Management Zones for forestry planning. My work spans consulting forestry, timber operations, and UAS imagery, supported by a B.S. in Forest Management and GIS training.
