I will be relocating to the Nashville Metropolitan area this summer because my daughter,who was diagnosed at
birth with Williams Syndrome, has just been accepted into the Next Steps Program at Vanderbilt University. She will make
history as the first student with her diagnosis to enroll in the program and attend Vanderbilt University alongside her
typical peers.
I am currently enrolled in Florida International University’s online program leading to a Bachelor of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies. At present, I have three semesters of coursework left to complete prior to earning my degree.
This program is online and I can take a reduced course load in the event I find full-time employment, which is my
preference.
I chose the major because it combines my skills and interests in environmentalissues, conservation, and
sustainability. I have taken courses in the fields of earth science, environmental studies and geography that have allowed
me to understand and appreciate the need tolocate and conserve our naturalresources.
I graduated from the College of DuPage in 2015 and have been looking for entry level GIS related employment
that will allow me to utilize the skills I have and provide opportunities to learn, apply, and expand my knowledge base. My
current skill set includes:
Academic Accomplishment
● 3.6 G.P.A. in both GIS and Weather impacts and preparedness certificate programs
● Awarded the Bill Allaway ESCONI academic scholarship
● Completed Geog 1151 through,Geog 1155 (GIS) earning a Certificate in Geographic Information Systems, a
Certificate in Weather Impacts and Preparedness and an Associate of Science in Earth Science (Honors)
Projects Completed

● Spatial analysis of major gas lines in Ukraine, and the potentialproblems war could cause
● Turning raw LiDAR data into three-dimensional map surfaces
● Multivariate spatial analysis based on socio-economic and distance variables
● Mapped possible impacts of chemical disbursement due toindustrial accident
● Completely mapped and analyzed the power grid for Ukraine including geolocating all power lines and
transformers, all major power plants,and coal mines both legal and illegal for use by governmentalagencies
home and abroad to analyze the impacts the war may have on ability of the country to power and heat itself

Sincerely,
