After studying GIS at the University of Florida, and working on the Florida Statewide Greenways System Public Lands Database at the UF GeoPlan Center, I moved to CA for an internship with ESRI. During my stay, I was then hired by the Water Replenishment District of Southern California to build and manage their Geographic Information System. After a pause to focus on young children and an elderly family member, I am on a path to return to the data world as a Data Analyst with a particular interest in Business Intelligence.
