My Approach

As the Geospatial Information Officer at a major research university, I lead enterprise spatial strategy that supports public investment decisions, strengthens institutional capacity, and aligns campus operations with broader state and regional priorities.

My work positions spatial intelligence as core infrastructure—supporting capital planning, public safety, research growth, and talent development in ways that mirror the challenges facing cities, states, and federal agencies.

Philosophy

Lead by Listening & Diagnosis

I begin on-site with planners, facilities leaders, architects, and frontline staff to identify operational friction points and clarify the real policy, funding, and delivery questions decision-makers face.

Align Data to Capital & Workforce Investments

Every dataset, field workflow, and executive dashboard is explicitly tied to capital programs, construction timelines, and workforce planning needs—ensuring spatial data informs investment decisions rather than existing as a technical side effort.

Design for Long-Term Institutional Resilience

I establish durable governance models, enterprise architectures, and data standards that withstand leadership transitions, staffing changes, and shifting priorities—reducing risk while increasing institutional memory.

Build Capacity, Not Dependency

Through targeted training, plain-language standards, and operational handoff strategies, I ensure teams can maintain and extend spatial systems independently—freeing leadership to focus on strategy, not tooling.

Measure Outcomes & Demonstrate Public Return

I implement KPI-driven reporting on asset condition, project delivery, and cost avoidance, feeding executive reviews that demonstrate return on investment and support continuous improvement as institutions and economies evolve.
