Passionate GIS expert and urban planner with years of experience in geospatial analysis and mapping. I possess a strong skill set in GIS software, data analysis, project management, and communication. My proficiency in geospatial analysis using ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth and other remote sensing software enables me to create maps and visualizations to support planning projects. I have a deep understanding of zoning and land use regulations and I am committed to engaging with stakeholders to gather input. My track record of delivering high-quality work on time and on budget makes me an ideal candidate for roles that require spatial data expertise.
