What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level role in urban planning, environmental design, or resource management where I can apply spatial analysis, resource planning, and problem-solving to sustainable land use and efficient resource allocation.

I've supported the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority through GIS mapping, data analysis, local plan revisions, and the revision of zoning guidelines and planning standards.

I manage mapping and digitizing projects, prepare reports for decision-making, and contribute to research, monitoring, and evaluation for urban planning. With a BA in Geography and Resource Development, I bring QGIS, spatial analysis, resource planning, and sustainable land-use knowledge to built and natural environment projects.
