GIS professional skilled in ESRI tools, spatial analysis, and emergency management applications.
I am a GIS professional with a B.S. in Geography and a minor in Geographic Information Systems from the University of South Alabama, combining academic excellence with hands-on GIS roles across public, academic, and private sectors.
I have practical experience developing zoning and future land use maps, building GIS databases, and creating interactive web-based applications using ESRI ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Desktop tools.
My background includes internships and technician roles supporting regional planning, campus public safety, and remote imagery services, along with classroom instruction as a GIS teaching assistant and leadership experience in campus organizations.
I bring additional strengths in emergency management training (FEMA), basic Mandarin language skills, and strong technical aptitude with Microsoft Excel and the ESRI suite, all backed by academic scholarships and a consistent 4.0 GPA.
