I am a practicing freelance cartographer, as well as an instructor of cartography at Penn State. I have a fairly wide range of experiences– recently, I planned signage and wayfinding systems for healthcare and education campuses. Prior to that role, I was a founding member and Creative Director of the GeoGraphics Lab: a cartographic production and research laboratory at the Penn State Department of Geography. My dissertation research was on tactile maps for blind and low vision users, and my master’s thesis was on organ transplantation logistics. In high school, I worked in the filmmaking industry, winning four youth filmmaking awards at SXSW.

As a professional cartographer, I have created maps for a diverse range of clients and venues, including installation art for Penn State and The Alameda Creek Watershed Center, books published by Stanford University Press and The University of Chicago press, as well as for academic research articles, conference presentations, grant applications, and compliance reports.

Other topics of interests include biogeography, ornithology, mixed media maps, and early digital cartography.
