I work for NOAA's Office for Coastal Management (OCM). I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree of Geosciences from Murray State University, a small state school in the corn fields of Kentucky, focusing on integrating imagery processing techniques into watershed modeling. After spending 3 years working in Afghanistan collecting and processing lidar and aerial imagery, I now work as a remote sensing specialist for NOAA in Charleston, SC developing landcover products while maintaining lidar and imagery for the Digital Coast, with time to spare for documentation of standards and providing more outreach.
