The devil is in the details with this map; created for a property owner, it was imperative that the locations of individual landmarks and points of interest were precise and accurate.
-
Created for a family’s genealogy project, these simple maps helped readers orient themselves in the story of their ancestors’ migration across the U.S.
-
Another product of a field trip, this map displays photos of invasive species in its round pop-ups, which are wrapped in HTML text boxes to match the curve of the circular photos.
-
I made this map to document the routes I walked during an invasive species field mapping excursion, during which I gained experience with several different data collection methods.
-
This suitability analysis incorporated land type, elevation, and slope to determine acceptable placement locations for solar farms.
-
Some Upwork clients require simple and colorful maps to enhance their websites or presentations; this particular map displayed client presence in a variety of countries worldwide.
-
Generated using legal descriptions of a property boundary, this map assisted the client in determining the location of a roadside easement.

-
I've been hired by Brandywine Urban Forestry Consultants to create countless maps and geographic products to display their robust tree data (including tree location, health, and other details). This is one ArcGIS Hub Site I built with custom configuration.
-
The client for this map requested to portray two types of energy processing sites (soy and ethanol) as well as the Class 01 rail lines that they fell on. This map also has tools and widgets to filter down the data to display only relevant sites.

These school system dashboards display distribution of enrolled students throughout a community, enabling administrators to make efficient decisions about facilities and transportation while preserving student privacy.
-
The primary objective of this project was to develop a suitability model to identify the particular locations for the ideal installation of oceanic cooling technology, based on critical levels of multiple criteria, such as salinity and temperature.
In addition to the model itself, the development of this web application served as the Capstone to my master’s degree.
