New Orleans, LA
I am a recent graduate from the University of New Orleans (Dec. 2014), with a B.S. in Urban Planning with a concentration in Geography. I was recently hired as an Engineering Associate in Gas Distribution for Entergy New Orleans after spending a year as a GIS Tech. I have also recently been elected as President of my neighborhood association.
Much of my work in school was centered around the neighborhood and I organized and ran a PPGIS data collection event for the 2014 GIS-Pro Convention held here in New Orleans. As a volunteer member of WhoData.org, I work with interns on their mapping skills and layouts, as well as data collection methodologies. Most recently, I worked with two grad students to build a mobile app for data collection as part of a continuation of the PPGIS collection done by URISA members last year.
I also play guitar and bass in two local bands.
