6. Accomplishments
● Developed a Pipeline Route Optimization tool using ArcGIS ModelBuilder and Python (ArcPy) which was used to determine
pipeline routing scenarios. Vector and raster GIS datasets were input by the user, suitability weighting factors were applied and
the final output was rendered using a least cost path workflow. Further refinement of the data resulted in more accurate routing
strategies which saved both Fluor and the client time and money during the initial phases of the pipeline construction process.
● Served as GIS Training Coordinator for the Fluor Pipeline group. In this position I was responsible for developing employee
training programs that fell in line with organizational objectives, performing needs assessments and creating instructional videos
on a variety of topics including linear referencing and data conversion workflows. This job required strong interpersonal
communication abilities, the ability to multitask, and outstanding organizational skills.
● While at the Hanford Nuclear site in Richland, Washington I served as GIS Project Coordinator for the Department of Energy's
Annual Groundwater Report. My duties included the creation, collection, distribution and placement of over 500 maps, tables and
other figures. In my inaugural year in this position the report was completed two weeks early for the first time.
● During my tenure at El Paso Corporation I played a critical part in the development of the APDM (Arc Pipeline Data Model) as the
Technical Committee Representative for the company. APDM Technical CommitteeTasks included developing the structure,
content, and technological aspects of the model such as the design of a geodatabase capable of storing information pertaining to
features found in gathering and transmission pipelines.
