Would love to find a sales role with a GIS, Remote sensing, and or aerial imagery component.

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values innovation and leadership in GIS.

As a dedicated GIS Specialist at UNR, I have successfully utilized ARCGIS Pro and ARCGIS Online to complete five major projects, enhancing database accuracy by 30%. My collaborative efforts with state employees on a project mapping car crashes involving animals led to a significant 20% reduction in such incidents through targeted awareness campaigns. Additionally, I worked alongside fellow students to create a comprehensive map detailing COVID-related deaths across Nevada, showcasing my commitment to using GIS for social impact.

Prior to my current role, I honed my skills in various positions, including as a Consultant and Writer at Cedar Box Company, where I streamlined packaging processes for three manufacturers, boosting production efficiency by 25%. My experience as a National Account Executive at Bite Squad allowed me to lead a team that achieved a remarkable 280% local market growth within a year, increasing revenue by over $2 million. With a strong background in account management and event planning, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive growth and foster client relationships.
