Day job: GIS Coordinator for City College of San Francisco

 

GIS Focus: Facilities Management using GIS

 

GIS Goal: To build a robust and solid GIS program. Provide a service that delivers relevant knowledge, techniques and workflows to those seeking jobs, students, organizations and community activists. To actively engage the GIS EC in community projects and build relationships with local organizations and private entities.

 

GIS is important to me because: I believe GIS can facilitate better communication within a community or organization. The ability to analyze data spatially  can provide vital information for decision makers regarding policy. Maps are critical to understanding and improving our environment.

 

I belong to: BAAMA, BAR-GC, and about 8 committees of the shared governance at City College

GIS Focus: Introducing students to GIS technology and demystifying it.

 

GIS is Important to me because: in order to solve local, regional and global problems, we first need to know as much as possible about the topic to be solved.  In almost every case, this information has a locational and relational component that can be represented on a map - this is why GIS becomes such a powerful tool to study and solve multi-faceted problems. Unfortunately, I feel that today's GIS software is clunky, confusing, unfriendly and off-putting to new learners, so I've made it my mission to promote GIS as a powerful tool that needs to be clearly explained and demystified for the benefit of present and future problem-solvers.


Other:  Proud to say I was born and raised in New Jersey, though I love California and the Bay Area!

Day job: Environmental Health Planner for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, Environmental Health

 

GIS Focus: Health Impact Assessments using GIS

 

GIS is important to me because: It allows us to better understand the spatial distribution of our neighborhood resources which can inform planning and policy to address social and environmental inequities. It also helps paint a better picture of those communities with the most need. 

 

I'm currently involved with the Mayor's Open Space Task Force and the San Francisco GIS User Group.
