I am a GIS Analyst and Cartographer interested in environmental restoration/protection projects. I grew up along the Mississippi River in heart of the Driftless Area of Southeastern Minnesota. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in Geographical Information Systems. After working in New York City for the summer and fall of 2025, I am now headed to the Island of Hawai'i for 2026.
