About Me

I first discovered GIS at Delta State University, but my motivation started long before that. Growing up, I watched my dad serve as a Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer in the Philippines, and I wanted to find ways to contribute to the kind of work he was doing by helping communities prepare for and respond to challenges. GIS became the tool that brought that vision to life.

Since then, I’ve developed skills in Python, ArcGIS, remote sensing, and cartographic visualization, applying them to projects like disaster response simulations and community-focused mapping in the Mississippi Delta. What excites me most is using GIS to turn raw data into clear insights and practical solutions that make an impact on people’s lives. I’m eager to keep learning and to apply these skills in professional settings where geospatial work supports communities directly.

Relevant courses: GIS Programming • Remote Sensing • Cartography & Visualization • Case Studies.
Interests: geospatial data science, disaster response, and community mapping.
