I am excited to join BeSpatial in the event management role and am looking forward to serve in this position. I have a passion for GIS, Data and Technology.

My background includes B.Sc. Major in GIS from the University of Toronto and Post graduate Diploma in IT from Sheridan College.  Experience with GIS, Data Management, Project Management and Asset Management.  I also have A/V experience working as a volunteer.
