Welcome To My GIS Portfolio
Hello, and welcome to my portfolio for GIS 520 – Spatial Problem Solving, a graduate level course offered at NC State University. This site highlights the skills gained throughout this course through a series of projects that model real-world scenarios. Throughout this course I learned how to solve spatial problems that require advanced analysis and explored methods for displaying GIS data in a way that facilitates understanding. Feel free to explore the navigation menu above or scroll down for a sample selection of projects!
