In my current role as a GIS Coordinator with the City of Aberdeen, I manage and maintain complex spatial datasets including zoning, parcels, addressing, and infrastructure layers. I have led efforts to compile and standardize data across departments, ensuring accuracy and usability for planning and compliance purposes. This experience has strengthened my ability to work with diverse data sources while maintaining data integrity.

I am currently interested in jobs in both TN and NC.
