“I have always wanted to find ways to use my skills in the geospatial world to help contribute to making a positive impact on the environment and/or for others’ livelihoods. Being an Earth Science Review Board member would give me an opportunity to put my GIS analysis and environmental science knowledge to work, helping to improve our world”
