Cartographer/Writer
Creative and technical, with experience in the natural resources and cultural resources sectors.
Expertises
GIS Cartography
Having worked for such organizations as the US Air Force, the National Park Service, The Last Green Valley Association, and CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, I have learned to represent place in both static and online map forms.
Historical Research
To obtain the information that drives my writing and mapping, I find myself studying documents that others have overlooked. And sometimes I have to read between the lines of documents that others think they have exhausted.
Data Visualization/ Database Management
The era of digital cartography arrived with the benefits of tabular data organization and management, and I have been tasked with displaying that data and cleaning it for storage and easy retrieval.
Writing
For creativity and precision, often simultaneously.
