“One of my favorite quotes is: “Follow your passion, it will lead you to your purpose.” As soon as I joined FLO, I knew I had found my purpose—using GIS to help communities. Working for years in GIS and in a variety of fields and companies has given me a well-rounded perspective and a deep toolset, not only in GIS but also in my ability to work with all types of people.”
