I am a geospatial product engineer and technical writer. Since I moved to California in 2003, I have developed documentation for a computer mapping and geographic information systems software company. Prior to that, I was a cartographic technician at Yellowstone National Park, served as a GIS associate program director, and worked in advertising for a broadcasting group.
In 2009, I earned my airplane private pilot certificate and am currently working on my instrument rating. I love sightseeing, taking aerial photographs, and writing trip reports. Most of my hours are in a Cessna 172, although I also have flown other models, including a Cessna 152 and a high-performance Cessna 182. I fly at the Santa Barbara (KSBA) airport and am a member of the Ninety-Nines, the International Organization of Women Pilots.

I also enjoy visiting national parks, studying geysers and hydrothermal systems, practicing yoga, cooking, and tending my flower garden.
I have a master of science in geoscience from Western Kentucky University and a bachelorʼs degree in political science.
