Ambassador Spotlight ‘Katie Britt’

Welcoming our latest Brand Ambassador, Katie Britt, who is covering the area of Florida, USA! Let’s learn some more about her:

How did you get into surveying?
I always liked maps growing up, but didn’t realise there were jobs where you could make maps. I found the geomatics major in college, which got me into surveying and GIS!
What are your plans as a Brand Ambassador?
I am using the 4-H youth development program as an outlet to provide education about surveying and maps since network already exists at the university. I hope to get more 4-H clubs using the GKiS resources.
Tell us a bit about what you do?
I lead the University of Florida’s Extension initiative for workforce development program for the surveying industry across the state of Florida. This includes trainings for those already in the industry, recruiting to the industry, and teaching kids about surveying and geospatial science!
