Professional Summary

Strategic, mission-driven professional with a strong background in nonprofit leadership, geospatial analysis, and community engagement. Currently serving as a GIS Analyst at Municipal GIS Partners (MGP), where I support local governments in modernizing operations, visualizing infrastructure, and delivering data-driven services that enhance quality of life.

My career began in nonprofit management, where I spent six years leading programs, engaging volunteers, and using data to drive outreach and growth. That experience shaped my systems thinking and commitment to public service, which now inform my work in GIS. I combine technical expertise with a people-first mindset—specializing in transforming complex data into accessible tools like maps, dashboards, and mobile apps.

Whether designing mobile workflows, supporting capital planning, or creating visualizations for sustainability and equity, I bring creativity, curiosity, and collaboration to every project. I thrive at the intersection of data, design, and community—believing that the right tools, grounded in the right values, can help governments serve more effectively, equitably, and humanely.
