Brings extensive analytical, technical-communication, training, and distributed-team experience.
02 / SELECTED GEOSPATIAL EXPERIENCE
Johns Hopkins University
M.S. GIS and Spatial Analytics — Applied Projects
- Analyzed multispectral Landsat imagery using supervised classification, spectral indices including NDVI, and multitemporal change-detection methods to evaluate environmental patterns and change.
- Applied ArcGIS Pro tools for raster and vector geoprocessing, spatial analysis, data preparation, coordinate-system management, spatial statistics, and map production.
- Created cartographic products and technical reports documenting source data, analytical methods, assumptions, limitations, and results for technical and nontechnical audiences.
- Built ArcGIS Online web maps and communication products using StoryMaps, Dashboards, and Experience Builder; used Survey123 and Field Maps concepts for mobile and field-data workflows.
- Used Python and ModelBuilder at a working level to organize data, support repeatable geoprocessing, and improve workflow consistency.
- Performed project-level QA/QC by checking data completeness, spatial reference, attribute consistency, processing outputs, cartographic clarity, and reproducibility before delivery.
Applied UAS / Photogrammetry
Remote Sensing Projects
- Processed UAS imagery through photogrammetric workflows to produce and evaluate orthomosaics and digital surface models for mapping and environmental-observation applications.
- Reviewed imagery and derived products for coverage, alignment, resolution, completeness, and suitability for the intended analytical or cartographic use.
