My Work
Valley County Idaho Road Maintenance Dashboard
I helped the Valley County Road and Bridge department realize the value behind incorporating GIS into their workflow. GIS can streamline efforts, increase efficiency, contribute to community awareness, and provide the transparency needed to help build trust with the public. Valley County Road and Bridge Department uses advanced, GIS field technology for asset inventory and condition assessments, which allows updates to the Road and Bridge Maintenance Dashboard to occur in real-time.
Assessor’s Parcel Map and Summary Report
The application uses a combination of ESRI’s Web AppBuilder Developer’s edition and VertiGIS’s Geocortex Reporting widget.
I completed a GIS needs assessment for the Valley County Assessor’s department, which consisted of interviews with Assessor Department staff and the community. The result was an Assessor’s Map and Parcel Summary viewer which receives almost 90,000 views per year. The application includes an interactive map, showing important reference information such as Parcel Boundaries, Subdivisions, Impact Areas, etc. and provides an in-depth PDF summary report for each property. This report is generated on-the-fly and includes ownership information, links to associated Subdivision and Assessor’s plats, sketches, valuation and sales history, improvement information, and images.
StoryMap Created for Fundraising
As a founding member of a newly-formed nonprofit, Payette Riverwalk Alliance, I was able to donate my StoryMap skills to create a simple, yet effective, website that was used to raise awareness, provide transparency to the community, and was the primary presentation material used for fundraising. This approach allowed the Board to tell a unified story, build connections, and have continuity of key information in one place. It also contributed to the successful conservation of a 44-acre riverfront property that can now be enjoyed by the public in perpetuity.
Quantifying Connectivity of a Fragmented Landscape
This research used a combination of ArcMap 10.x, Conefor Sensinode, and GUIDOS to complete a Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA).
Quantifying landscape-level connectivity provides a key indicator for biological connectivity and habitat corridors, which helps to inform biologists of the level of threat to a species of interest. It can also be used to help in adaptive resource management and streamlining the efficient use of resources, especially when resources are limited. This project and report included the identification of key habitat cores and habitat bridges in a Biological Life Zone in Costa Rica and was presented to the Director of La Selva Biological Research Station who gave consent on the continuation of the research.
