What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply GIS and planning expertise to community-focused projects, contribute to data-driven decisions, and grow in technical implementation and project leadership.

I am an urban and regional planner with strong GIS and data-analysis skills, a 4.00 GPA, and hands-on experience across public, academic, and private sectors.

I have led planning projects and research—from authoring regional framework recommendations for the Navajo Nation to managing community-engaged labs in Berlin—demonstrating my capacity to integrate local context with professional standards.

I translate complex workflows into functional solutions, having supported ERP and HIS rollouts across 54 hospital branches and trained 150+ key users while also producing cartographic products and audio research for multilingual testing projects.

I bring initiative, clear communication, and project-management discipline, seeking roles where I can apply GIS, planning, and technical implementation skills to deliver measurable community and organizational impact.
