GIS
From data collection to dashboards and storytelling—exploring how GIS supports real-world decisions.
My work in GIS has evolved from making maps to building systems that help people understand data and make informed decisions.
I work across the full GIS workflow designing surveys and field data collection tools, structuring and managing spatial data, performing analysis, and creating dashboards and StoryMaps that bring everything together. The goal is always the same: to turn complex information into something clear, usable, and connected to real-world outcomes.
On this page, you’ll find examples of that work from interactive dashboards and mapping projects to StoryMaps that combine data, analysis, and narrative to support planning, development, and community-focused initiatives.
Selected Work
A look at how GIS is applied across data collection, analysis, and visualization, through dashboards, surveys, and StoryMaps that support real-world projects.
DASHBOARDS - Tools for Tracking and Decision-Making
Interactive dashboards built to help teams track performance, identify trends, and make informed decisions in real time. These tools bring together multiple data sources into a single, clear view making complex data easier to understand and act on.
-
This dashboard tracks small business readiness across key corridors in the Seattle region ahead of FIFA 2026. It combines survey data, spatial mapping, and performance metrics to provide a clear view of how prepared businesses are to participate in upcoming economic opportunities.
The dashboard highlights key indicators such as the number of businesses surveyed, readiness levels, support needs, and overall readiness scores. Interactive maps and charts allow users to explore how readiness varies by location, business type, and operational capacity, including areas like finance, operations, marketing, and technology.
By visualizing where businesses are prepared and where gaps exist, the dashboard supports targeted outreach, resource allocation, and strategic planning to ensure local businesses are positioned to benefit from major events.
-
This dashboard visualizes broadband access and internet reliability across Washington State, combining survey responses with geographic data to highlight connectivity conditions at the community level.
It tracks key indicators such as internet availability, connection type (fiber, DSL, satellite), average download speeds, and frequency of service disruptions. Interactive maps and charts allow users to explore where reliable access exists, where gaps remain, and how connectivity varies across regions.
By integrating survey data with spatial analysis, the dashboard helps identify underserved areas, understand user experience, and support more targeted broadband planning and investment decisions.
SURVEYS & FIELD DATA - Designing How Data Gets Collected
Structured survey and field data systems built to capture accurate, consistent information from the ground. From form design to mobile data collection, this work ensures that the data feeding each project is reliable and usable.
-
This survey was designed to assess small business readiness across multiple corridors in preparation for FIFA 2026, capturing detailed insights into operations, financial stability, workforce capacity, digital presence, and event-specific planning.
Built and deployed in seven languages, the survey expands accessibility and participation ensuring more representative data across diverse business communities. Structured sections guide respondents through key areas such as revenue patterns, staffing capacity, technology use, and anticipated demand during major events.
The data collected feeds directly into dashboards and spatial analysis, enabling corridor-level insights, identifying support needs, and informing targeted strategies to help businesses prepare for and benefit from large-scale economic opportunities.
-
This Field Maps application is designed to support arborists, developers, and surveyors in collecting detailed, location-based tree data directly in the field. It captures key attributes such as species, health, risk level, canopy spread, and recommended action—creating a structured dataset that can be used for site planning and decision-making.
By combining mobile data collection with GIS, the tool enables real-time documentation of tree conditions, helping teams assess which trees should be preserved, pruned, or removed. The result is a more efficient workflow and a clearer understanding of ecological and development constraints on-site.
STORY MAPS - Turning Data into Clear, Actionable Stories
StoryMaps that combine mapping, analysis, and narrative to present complex information in a way that’s easy to understand. These projects connect data to real-world context—helping stakeholders see the full picture.
-
This StoryMap explores how Washington’s business corridors are preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by combining survey data, mapping, and spatial analysis to assess readiness across the region. It highlights the scale of opportunity—projected economic impact, increased visitation, and increased demand—while emphasizing that businesses must be prepared to fully benefit.
Through an integrated GIS approach, the project brings together business survey responses, fan zone locations, traffic impact areas, and support resources into an interactive map and dashboard. It introduces a Business Readiness Index that evaluates key areas such as operations, financial stability, digital presence, and technology—providing corridor-level insights into where businesses are prepared and where additional support is needed to strengthen participation and outcomes.
