ABOUT
I combine environmental data, design, and land stewardship to explore and communicate how landscapes change over time.
My background is in graphic design, web and interactive design, and education.I hold a BFA in Art Education with a focus in Graphic Design, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Web and Interactive Design from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Throughout my career, I have created visual and communication work for organizations including the Dedham Historical Society, the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD Hero Run), Boston Higashi School, Pure and Simple Organic, Kindhearted Gardens, Olde Dartmouth Farm, and a range of nonprofit initiatives.
Earlier in my career, I worked as an educator across international, private, and public schools, as well as in community-based and therapeutic settings. This experience continues to shape my approach to communication, grounded in clarity, accessibility, and engagement.
In addition to my design and education background, I have built a strong foundation in land-based practice. My experience includes stewardship work in the White Mountains, farming on an organic garlic operation, planting trees along riverbanks, and managing an ecologically focused gardening business in Vermont’s Green Mountains. These roles have deepened my understanding of ecological systems, seasonal cycles, and the relationship between people and land.
I hold a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Data Communication Professional Certificate from the University of Vermont, where I developed skills in GIS, remote sensing, and data visualization.
My experience in Introduction and Advanced GIS includes working with both vector and raster datasets, applying spatial analysis techniques such as network analysis, hydrology, interpolation, and raster calculations, and integrating publicly available data into cohesive analytical frameworks. I also gained experience automating workflows using ModelBuilder and introductory Python, as well as evaluating data quality, scale, and suitability for real-world applications.
In Remote Sensing, I work with multi-spectral and multi-temporal satellite imagery from sources such as Landsat, Sentinel, and MODIS. Using Google Earth Engine, I build geospatial workflows to analyze environmental change, including land cover patterns and post-disturbance recovery. My work incorporates image processing, spectral indices, and time-series analysis to interpret landscape dynamics.
In Data Visualization and Communication, I focus on translating complex datasets into clear, structured, and visually effective narratives. I apply design principles and perceptual theory to create maps, charts, and other visual outputs that communicate patterns and insights to diverse audiences.
My work sits at the intersection of environmental analysis, GIS, and design, bringing together spatial data and visual communication to support informed, place-based understanding.
I am interested in opportunities that connect environmental data, conservation, and communication, where I can contribute to thoughtful, long-term work supporting both ecosystems and communities.
