What or who sparked your interest in studying geospatial technologies?
I have always wanted to study the environment. Studying GIS and remote sensing
seemed like a logical course of study for me because it allowed me to work towards
understanding the environment from the cutting edge of technology.
What is your dream job?
Right now I am hoping to become a professor of geography.
How do you see geospatial technologies helping you in your career goals?
I think these tools will give me the ability to study the environment in a
more comprehensive and robust manner than if I did not have them at my disposal.
What were the most important things you considered when deciding on which
school to go to?
I am continuing my graduate education at the same university where I earned
my undergraduate degree. I liked the fact that I am already well-acquainted with
the professors at Clark and their research interests, and the school allowed
me to attend for free.
What do you like most about being a student?
The intellectual freedom and the ability to explore.
What do you like least about being a student?
Having to write about something that doesn’t interest me.
What do you do to relax?
Read.
Who are your heroes/heroines?
My parents and my grandfather.
What advice would you give a high school student trying to make education
and career choices?
Keep an open mind, don’t count anything out.
