Summary

I am a data analysis - GIS specialist - with over 15 years of international experience implementing data analysis focused on GIS strategies, digital cartography, remote sensing, process modelling, and database design. I have a wide range of experience dealing with clients and students due to my 15 years of experience teaching in high school and university. For the past 6 years, my career has focused on environmental data analysis - GIS directed to the mining industry, specifically on all reclamation processes, including water quality and quantity projects, ecosystem accounting, wildlife management, and multifactor analysis. I have a Master's in Environmental Science and wildlife management that, coupled with my extensive experience in GIS and environmental data analysis, allows me to gain unique insights into the data relationships. I am a motivated, energetic, and creative professional with strong problem-solving skills. I value excellence in my work and building strong collaborative relationships with my colleagues to optimize outcomes and results. I have been successful in working in fast-paced regulatory environments individually or with a team to achieve high-quality standards.
