About Me
I’m a GIS Technician specializing in utility analytics and spatial data quality. I currently work at NV5, where I support infrastructure projects through planimetric feature extraction, wire mapping QC, and spatial data validation using MicroStation, Condor/Condorize, and ArcGIS Pro.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the College of Wooster and a Certificate in GIS from Portland Community College, with experience spanning field data collection, cartography, GIS analysis, and automation. I’m particularly interested in work at the intersection of GIS, land use, infrastructure, and renewable energy, and I value producing accurate, reliable geospatial data that supports real-world decision-making.
