Experience

Experience

I've always been drawn to work that sits at the intersection of technology, design, and planning. What started as an interest in maps and geography grew into a passion for using GIS and data visualization to better understand communities and support thoughtful decision-making.

My experience spans GIS, planning, zoning, landscape architecture, and graphic design, which allows me to contribute to projects from both analytical and creative perspectives. I enjoy turning complex information into clear maps, graphics, and visual stories that help clients, stakeholders, and community members better understand opportunities and challenges.

One of the things I enjoy most about this profession is that every project is different. Whether I'm analyzing data, developing maps, supporting planning efforts, or creating visual materials, I like finding practical ways to connect information with people. I'm especially interested in how technology and geospatial tools can improve planning processes and help create more livable, sustainable, and resilient communities.

At TSW, I'm excited to work alongside planners, landscape architects, engineers, and designers who share a passion for shaping great places. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines and learning from different perspectives while helping bring ideas from concept to reality.

When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me…exploring parks and trails, enjoying the beach and fishing, or playing table tennis with friends.
