About Me

I am a 22-year-old GIS Analyst for WSP. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Northern Colorado in Geographic Information Sciences. Originally I was a physics major with an interest in Civil Engineering but became very interested in Geographic Science. Although I have always had a love for maps and geography, I did not think about making a career out of it until a few  years ago and fell in love with my program at school and the discipline since.

Outside of the office, I love to travel and find adventure! I enjoy hiking 14ers, rock climbing, camping, and traveling to new places. I have ventured to nearly every corner of the United States (Including Alaska!) and this summer had the opportunity to visit Normandy, France. I am not a Colorado native, originally from California, but have embraced Colorado thoroughly and it is what I call home.
