How did you get into surveying? I was in a 2 year degree program for architecture and building construction. Surveying was a required course. Instead of competing with the other 250 students in the program for a handful of architectural jobs, I decided to get in to surveying before finishing my degree.

Are you part of any associations or organisations you would like us to mention?

Why are you volunteering as a GKiS Brand Ambassador? I love sharing awareness of surveying as most kids (including myself) never hear of surveying as a career.
Why is it important for kids to know about surveying and the wider geospatial industry? Surveying and geospatial information are integral to our everyday lives and the functioning of society at basic levels.
What are you going to do as an ambassador for GKiS? Get into classrooms and share surveying.
What are your hobbies outside of work? Geocaching, hiking, video games, sewing. cigars
If you/your company had a GKiS character, what would it be? There’s already a redhead girl and a cat.
What resource would you like to see next from GKiS? Middle School/Grades targeted material.
