Biography

I am interested in working on relevant, inquiry-based initiatives that use GIS and critical thinking skills to (1) deepen and galvanize student consideration and analysis of 21st Century issues from the local to global level, (2) empower students at all ages to make a difference in the lives of people and in our planet, (3) give teachers and professors the confidence that they can teach effectively with geotechnologies, and (4) capture the attention of the general public to act to strengthen spatial thinking throughout the curriculum and in the broader society.
