About Me

I was born and raised in the Golden State where I cultivated an interest in the life sciences and environmental education. After graduating from UCLA (BS in ecology and minor in GIS&T), I moved to the Great Lakes State to pursue these interests. At the University of Michigan, I completed my Master of Science in Natural Resources, focusing on the use of GIS for large-scale conservation planning.

​

Aside from working in GIS across several sectors (state government, AEC firm, environmental consulting, academia, and non-profits), my resume also includes: National Park Service park ranger (flat-hat wearer), zoo education specialist (elephant whisperer), research assistant (poop cleaner), environmental science faculty (PowerPoint designer), and urban wildlife associate (mountain lion crossing guard).
