Originally from Brisbane, Australia, and coming from a background in various resource-based work throughout Canada and abroad, I have worked for the BC Wildfire Service for three seasons on the Valhalla Unit Crew, based out of the South East Fire Centre. After studying GIS at Selkirk College the past two winter seasons, and now working as a GIS Technician with BCWS, I have developed a strong knowledge and technical expertise in GIS technology and its applications within the natural resource sector. I am passionate about exploring the ways emerging GIS technology can benefit the way we interact with our natural environment, and expanding my skill set into other industries and applications.
