I am a G.I.S. Specialist, Cartographer, & Designer located in Western Massachusetts.
I enjoy making scientific concepts understandable to any audience through engaging maps, graphics, and illustrations. My professional projects include work in climate resilience, environmental science, urban geography, ecology, contaminated site management, natural resource protection and management, and sport science. I also have strong knowledge and interest in related sciences such as mineralogy, geology, planetary science, oceanography, marine studies, and astronomy.
I am an avid mineral enthusiast with hundreds of specimens in my collection. I attempt to be as thoughtful as possible in my collecting and have a preference for minerals from estate collections, minerals where the collector and methods are known, and common minerals. I have left an uncountable thousands of minerals, shells, and fossils in their natural beauty taking with me only a picture.
In addition to my scientific work, I am an avid swimmer, having competed at the marathon distance. I also enjoy creating in a variety of art forms including piano, watercolor, wire jewelry, cake decoration, and more.
