City of San Marcos, CA

At the City of San Marcos, CA, I was responsible for building their GIS program from the ground up. Over eight-plus years, I developed the Enterprise GIS and provided support to all City departments. My work included trail mapping, emergency operations support, fire mapping, General Plan update mapping, GPS project management, digitizing assets from Engineering As-Builts, citizen notifications, label creation, training, and coding. During my tenure, I received multiple GIS-related awards, spoke at conferences and colleges, and authored several papers.
