My personal and professional goal is to build digital capacity in the not-for-profit and humanitarian sectors. I have worked as a GIS analyst in the public and private sectors, focusing in particular on partnering with entities that have not yet made use of geospatial information systems. I earned a B.S. from the University of Rochester and a Master's in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Michigan. My project for the Earth Analytics Application course involves tracking and characterizing drought by using agricultural indicators.
