About Me

With a Geology degree from Northland College and strong GIS skills, I am passionate about applying my knowledge and skills to contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of the environment. As a GIS tutor for over two years, I helped students master ArcGIS products and other GIS tools, enhancing their learning outcomes and academic performance.

I also gained practical experience as an Assistant Scientist at Terracon for seven months, where I supported various projects involving soil and groundwater sampling, analysis, and mapping. I demonstrated skills in data collection, processing, visualization, and interpretation, as well as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. I am looking for opportunities to further my career in the GIS domain and to learn from experts and peers in the industry.
