Profile
My degree from Portland State University is a BS in Environmental Studies with a double minor in Geography and
GIS. I am a friendly, dedicated person who is comfortable filling many roles in the work environment. My extensive
experience in a wide variety of jobs prior has allowed me to develop skills in problem solving, multitasking,
communication and patience. I love to learn, and am always up for a challenge whatever the situation, while working
compatibly with others and efficiently on my own. Recently, I have relocated to Portland from spending a year in
London, England with a strong desire to continue pursuing a career in GIS.
