A passionate GIS Specialist with over 3 years of experience, I specialise in using geospatial data to solve real-world problems. My journey in geospatial began at university where I studied Geography at Nottingham Trent, followed by GIS at the University of Leeds. Since then I have held roles as a GIS Technician and a Technical Specialist (FME & ESRI), primarily in the Utilities sector working for some of Britain's largest companies, such as Southern Water, Anglian Water, and National Grid. My goal in GIS is to make a difference to peoples lives and I am a huge advocate on GIS being involved in any major decision-making
I thrive in fast-paced environments and love helping people find solutions to complex challenges. My approach combines technical expertise with strong communication skills to deliver products that exceed client expectations. I believe one of my greatest strengths lies in my versatility as I can call on GIS, FME and Python to take on any challenge.
When I'm not working, you'll likely find me running, hiking, and exploring new technologies to stay up to date in our rapidly evolving industry.
For the last 6 months I have been taking a career break to assist with some family care duties. During this time I was determined to make sure I still progressed on a personal and professional level.
