Summary
GIS professional with six years of experience supporting utilities, land records, and large-scale geospatial datasets. Skilled in high-accuracy GPS data collection, Parcel Fabric management, spatial analysis, and integrating field data into GIS and CAD systems. My background spans utility mapping, parcel maintenance, pipeline data quality, and historic imagery projects—work that has strengthened my attention to detail and ability to turn complex spatial information into clear, reliable datasets. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to accuracy, I enjoy using GIS to connect data to the real world and support meaningful, efficient decision-making across engineering, appraisal, and public-facing operations.

Work History
GIS Technician
Nelson Pipeline
Ft. Lupton, CO
07.2025 - 11.2025
- Coordinated and organized project data, including site plans, CAD files, and survey control information, while conducting and scheduling project site visits to ensure accurate field data collection, proper documentation, maintenance of company vehicles and equipment, and overall project logistics, using BlueBeam to view and edit construction plans to keep field work aligned with project specifications.
- During these visits, I collected and processed high-accuracy GPS data using a Trimble TSC5 data collector and R10/R980 receivers. I managed RTK correction configuration, performed GPS calibration, and verified positional accuracy to produce precise as-built deliverables, integrating geospatial information into GIS and CAD systems using Trimble Business Center for on-site navigation and project documentation.
- Maintained standardized project documentation, managed multiple projects simultaneously, and communicated effectively with cross-functional teams.
GIS Technician
Williamson Central Appraisal District
Georgetown, TX
01.2022 - 06.2025
- Managed district maps by maintaining and updating parcel and account information. Indexed, drew, and built new subdivisions & condos, as well as processing deeds that pertain to property ownership.
- Performed map and GIS quality control by using ArcGIS Pro's Parcel Fabric to manage and maintain parcel topology, update parcel linework, enforce attribute rules, and support multiuser editing workflows. Reviewed and edited parcel geometry, used Microsoft Access to organize and manage attribute tables, and ran SQL queries to identify and correct parcel/account errors-such as duplicates, inactive accounts, or overlapping boundaries.
- Conducted research (County Clerk's Office, files and databases) of legal documents, engineer blueprints, deeds, subdivision plats/condo regimes, and historical records to ensure correct account & map information, especially for specific projects.
- Interacted with the public and other government offices both electronically and in person to provide information, answer questions, and address issues related to bylaws, procedures, and property accounts or parcel maps.
