About Me:
I am an Environmental Protection Specialist for the National Park Service Midwest Regional Office. I primarily act as a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) specialist for major planning and infrastructure development projects. My duties include document writing, workshop facilitation, and subject matter consultation.
I am a graduate from Arizona State University’s Master of Urban and Environmental Planning program. My studies primarily focused on environmental planning. Highlights of my time at ASU were research and internship experiences with time spent researching green infrastructure, working in a city government planning department, and helping develop the county park’s long-range strategic plan. I was also active in the Student Planning Association and I held a position on the executive board as the Professional Representative and External Liaison.
Through my work experience and course work I have gained experience with ESRI ArcGIS Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and R Studio. I am currently interested in exploring the uses of data analysis in planning and how GIS and R programming can be integrated for better analysis.
