Why did you pursue a career in forestry?
After getting my degree in Geography with an emphasis on GIS, forestry was a natural fit. I love maps and helping others create and use maps as a practical tool for managing natural resources.
What is your favorite part about your role at AFM?
My favorite part of my job is creating solutions to problems and helping create efficiencies with systems and better processes. In my role, that often looks like technical solutions or tools such as remote sensing, quick and easier GIS data collection, and building systems to help build a better sum of parts.
