LEADERSHIP POWERED BY DATA AND TECHNOLOGY

I work at the intersection of geospatial technology, public sector leadership, and higher education strategy. As the Geospatial Information Officer at a major university, I lead enterprise GIS governance, strategic planning, and cross-campus initiatives that improve public safety, facilities planning, research, and student success through spatial intelligence.

Strategic Approach

  • Listen & Diagnose
    I start on-site, talking with planners, architects, and maintenance crews to map friction points and uncover the real business questions GIS must answer.
     

  • Prioritize What Funds First
    Every dataset, field app, and dashboard is traced back to the capital-planning calendar and construction milestones, so GIS work supports funding decisions, not side projects.
     

  • Design for Durability
    I deploy ArcGIS Enterprise with rock-solid governance, naming standards, and repeatable templates, ensuring the system still makes sense five years (and many staff changes) from now.
     

  • Transfer Know-How
    Through targeted workshops and plain-language SOPs, I equip facilities and construction teams to update layers and dashboards themselves—no more GIS bottlenecks.
     

  • Measure, Report, Improve
    Live KPIs on asset condition, project timelines, and cost avoidance feed quarterly reviews, letting us tweak workflows and prove ROI as the campus—and its needs—grow.
