About Me
I am a geospatial analyst and environmental scientist passionate about using spatial data, GIS and remote sensing to support environmental management and data-driven decision-making. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Geomatics for Environmental Management at the University of British Columbia. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Technology from the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences, earned with distinction. I am technically fluent in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Python and R.
