Education:
2005, M.S. Environmental Monitoring, University of Wisconsin - Madison
1999, B.S. Zoology, Biological Aspects of Conservation, German, University of Wisconsin - Madison

Research interests:
My professional interests are with the use of GIS and remote sensing to analyze landscape change through time, specifically, the effects of human induced changes to the environment. I also have a strong interest in the intricacies and influences of cartographic design and the technological advances taking place in the world of cartography.

Personal interests:
More than anything, I enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family- hiking, camping, paddling and ultimate frisbee are tops on my list. When not outside running around, cooking, knitting, and hanging out with friends fills my time.

Projects:
Land cover and land use change from 1940-2000 in and around National Park Service units
