What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply GIS, satellite data, and data analysis skills alongside strong communication and customer service. I value teamwork, clear organization, and work that meaningfully supports research and safe, well-run activities.

I’m a recent Bachelor of Science graduate in Earth and Ocean Science, with coursework in GIS, Computer Modeling, Remote Sensing, and Statistics. I use strong critical thinking to support scientific research, data management, and research/reporting with tools like Excel, ArcGIS, and QGIS.

I bring a service-minded, detail-focused approach from customer-facing roles and remote programming and activities. Whether I’m mapping, georeferencing, digitizing, or handling data visualization, I aim to communicate clearly, adapt quickly, and keep work organized, accurate, and safe.
