I’m excited to share that I’ve designed and will be teaching a brand-new course at the University of South Carolina: Web GIS Studio (GEOG 310-002) — launching Fall 2025!

I found a whale!

Took my Digital Earth class to the South Caroliniana Library today to check out some of the historical maps in their archives. Amazing to see how cartography has changed over time! #DigitalEarth #GEOG105 #UofSC #SouthCarolinianaLibrary #maps #history

What’s the most exciting or unexpected way you’ve seen geospatial technology make a difference? #GISChat

AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a collaborator. It’s not about what AI can replace—it’s about what it can empower. Amplifying creativity, refining workflows, and building smarter solutions is just the start. How are you teaming up with AI? Share your thoughts and let’s learn together!

Maps in the Wild

Here's the thing: When you look at challenges geographically, you naturally see how everything connects. Spatial thinking at the top breaks down silos because space is the one thing every department shares.

Organizations struggle with silos because they organize by function. Finance does finance. Facilities does facilities. Each in their own corner. But real-world problems don't care about our org charts.

Weekend reflection: The most powerful leadership lesson I've learned as a GIO isn't about technology - it's about perspective.

The Future of Geospatial Leadership is all about collaboration. Leaders in GIS are no longer just managing maps—they're driving strategic decisions across industries. Geospatial technology is reshaping how we manage our world. Are you ready to lead the charge? #GISLeadership #GeospatialManagement

I passed the AI Fundamentals Certification on Data Camp. 2025 Career Goal: Get better at learning and collaborating with AI. In areas where our skills are just okay, AI empowers us to level up to the top 1%. This is going to be a great year.

🎵It's the most wonderful time of the year 🎵 The University of South Carolina is celebrating #GISDay in style at the Hollings Library. We'll highlight the diversity of GIS at the original USC, and there will be a big announcement during the Communities of Practice meeting. #GISDay2024

This app is so refreshing.

I've met many old hippies in Southeast Asia who told me the most amazing travel stories about their time on the Hippie Trail in the 70s. #FOMO

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge must be a wild place. I'd love to see it one day.
