What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my GIS skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated graduate student pursuing a Master’s Degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at Johns Hopkins University, where I am honing my skills in spatial analysis, data visualization, and cartography. My hands-on experience as a GIS Intern at TDS Telecom has equipped me with practical knowledge in managing complex geospatial projects, where I successfully constructed a comprehensive dashboard to monitor over 30 restoration projects. This role allowed me to enhance team efficiency by 25% through improved communication and project coordination.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong foundation in various GIS technologies and programming languages, including Python and R. My coursework has provided me with the tools to conduct advanced spatial analysis and develop custom GIS solutions. I am enthusiastic about applying my skills and energy to a dynamic GIS team, driving innovation and success in every endeavor.
