Stay informed, stay in connection with the technology, go to conferences, choose a mentor that can help you grow.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I bring digital tools close to business, and leverage the usage of GIS and location analysis so that business leaders take informed decisions.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
I was always fascinated by maps and the way that were designed. I followed a Cartography major and discovered the GIS world, and I was immediately in love with the possibility of bridging maps and technology.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
I worked as a volunteer a lot of years, but discovered so late that I can use my knowledge in the technology area to help so many people. I wish that I knew that I can contribute to the many organization a bit earlier.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
I believe that STEM opens a world of many possibilities for every one of us. It can create a true impact on the world that we live in today. I always try to find the best tool, the best usage for it and create the most impact. I wake up looking forward to learn new things that I can apply to my job and to my personal life.
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
Stay informed, stay in connection with the technology, go to conferences, choose a mentor that can help you grow, get inspiration from all the projects happening around you, volunteer in your early years of learning for big causes, speak out and don`t be afraid to state your opinion, but do all with kindness and with a spark in the eye. This will only help you grow as a professional and become an inspiration for the others.
