Welcome

Hopefully this is where you wanted to end up. If not, it isn't too late to hit the back button. If you really did mean to come here, keep reading.

GIS System Administrator

As system administrator, I get to do a variety of things from installing programs to cleaning finger prints off of the monitors. My main tasks are printing posters, using the large format scanner, and working on various projects as they come in. In a nutshell, I just do what I am told.

Some of the different projects I have worked on include creating GIS based running cards for the Pocatello Fire Department, determining accuracy of road coverages for the Idaho Transportation Department, and reprojecting the two thousand plus datasets on the Spatial Library as well as creating metadata for those datasets. Most recently, I have been working with Keith Weber and Thomas Windholz on publishing a paper on a GPS Accuracy study we did in the summer of 2004. So, there is never a dull moment for me.

Education

I graduated in the summer of 2005 with a Bachelors of Arts in History and the GeoTechnologies Minor. After graduation, I stayed at the GIS Center as a research assistant and system administrator. I figure all get all the experience I can before they kick me out of the place.

Personal Interests

When I am not down in the GIS Center, which is hardly ever, I am a girl of many activities and interests. I enjoy playing basketball (or any other sport involving a ball), reading, and spending time with my family and friends. Probably some of the most exciting things about me is I can install a toilet, I own two drills, and I can fit inside a dryer.
