For 18 years I have served as the primary GIS Manager and spatial analyst at Stetson Engineers, supporting water resources management projects. In this role, I provide comprehensive spatial analysis and mapping services to a dozen project managers, applying a dynamic, problem-solving approach to irrigation, water rights, and resource management initiatives. My responsibilities span the full spectrum of GIS work, including vector and raster analysis, aerial imagery interpretation, web mapping and data collection within the ArcGIS Online environment, field data preparation, and high-quality cartographic production.
I would like to bring my GIS and water resources experience to environmental conservation projects and campaigns.

WORK EXPERIENCE
WORK EXPERIENCE
GIS Manager (2017 – Present), Stetson Engineers, Inc, San Rafael CA
GIS Analyst (2007 – 2017), Stetson Engineers, Inc, San Rafael CA
Mapping and Cartography - A significant portion of my role involves delivering cartographic assistance to project managers at Stetson Engineers, across multiple office locations. This entails utilizing ArcGIS Pro (previously ArcMap) to craft figures for reports and technical memos, field maps, posters, and presentation slides, along with generating and disseminating ArcGIS.com webmaps, Dashboards, Field Maps, Collector, and StoryMaps. On average, I develop and/or refine 20-30 individual maps per week to meet project needs effectively.
Spatial Analysis - My expertise spans multiple platforms including ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, and QGIS, where I specialize in conducting comprehensive geospatial analyses. This includes tasks such as large data set analysis, watershed delineation, groundwater contouring, bulk geoprocessing, time-series raster processing, model grid polygon development, hydrologic modeling support, and constructing tools using Model Builder. I also excel in aerial imagery georeferencing, interpretation, and analysis, alongside map series design and layout, as well as intricate data visualization in both 2D and 3D formats. Each project demands an innovative problem-solving approach and often involves multi-step geoprocessing to deliver the requisite outputs.
IT Manager (2010 – 2023), ForWords.org, San Rafael CA
I managed the IT infrastructure, Google-for-nonprofits admin backend, and WordPress website for the middle school and high school student literacy non-profit ForWords.org.
Grant Administrator (2005 - 2007), National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, San Francisco CA
Based out of NFWF's San Francisco office, I managed 150+ individual grants, totaling over $14,000,000 in federal and non-federal funds, and served as west coast grants manager for seven species specific grants programs including habitat restoration, species reintroduction, and educational programs, among many others.
Program Coordinator (2002-2005), Conservation International, Washington DC
Provided programmatic support to Ecotourism Department including administered a $700,000 annual departmental budget, allocation of funding for various international programs, and forecasting and budget development. I provided administrative and programmatic support for three regional managers, the departmental senior director, and international staff.
I assisted in the research, data management, and production of the 2003 joint Conservation International and United Nations Environment Programme publication ‘Tourism and Biodiversity: Mapping Tourism’s Global Footprint’. I designed and developed the appendix ArcExplorer and data CD for this publication.
My Master's thesis focused on repeat-photography analysis in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park. My goal was to find the locations of ~100 photographs taken by naturalists and landscape photographers between 1900-1930, to document landscape change over time and add a qualitative dimension to alpine vegetation change science. The full project can be found here, in a website I put together years ago.
