​

My path in Geographic Information Sciences at Texas A&M University has

led me to a myriad of opportunities. Whether it be in participating in the oil and

gas industry or conducting academic research, I have yet to find a field where GIS is

not valuable. Throughout coursework and experience, I have found a special niche in cartography. 

This as well as my passion for the arts allows me to transform what is understood with logic into creative

visualizations that inspire a new perspective and understanding of the dynamic world around us. I believe there is great value in being able to communicate large concepts with creative visual designs such as maps, infographics, diagrams, charts and much more.

​

I consider myself a creative person. When I am not studying, I enjoy painting with acrylics or experimenting with pastels, and I love playing the piano. I also practice boxing and crocheting as a way to keep busy. Born and raised in Texas, I appreciate family-style barbecue and the occasional night out two-stepping with friends.

​

I originally found my way to studying geosciences through an Intro to Geology course, when I was absolutely captivated by the chapter on soils in my textbook; following my graduation in December 2018, I achieved a minor in Geology. In addition to a deep appreciation for earth systems and geologic processes (as seen here), my international travels have also given me diverse cultural experiences. Having awareness and passion for both the earth and the people in it gives me a

unique point of view of what and who we are mapping.

​

The world is constantly changing, and studying GIS helps me to tackle new challenges with a spatial perspective, 

while creating a keen skill set for critical and creative problem solving.
