What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and supports my growth in geospatial technologies.

I am a recent Geoscience graduate with a Certificate in Geospatial Information Science & Technology, eager to leverage my hands-on experience in GIS software and spatial analysis. My proficiency in tools like ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online has allowed me to develop interactive mapping tools and perform complex raster analysis, which I showcased during my internship with the Federation of Monroe County Environmentalists.

Throughout my academic journey, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental health initiatives, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver user-friendly GIS products. My ability to manage geospatial data responsibly and adhere to ethical standards has been pivotal in my work, ensuring privacy and compliance with data-sharing restrictions. I am dedicated to continuous learning and growth in geospatial technologies, and I look forward to applying my technical expertise and communication skills as a Junior Geospatial Analyst.
