Cartographer, Volunteer

Pronouns: she/her/hers

I have always loved being in the mountains and from a young age I was fascinated by glaciers and polar places.  I studied Physical Geography at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, including a semester abroad in Iceland.  After working as a GIS technician in Calgary, I moved to Germany to complete a MSc in Cartography, with a particular interest in remote sensing of the cryosphere.

I spent four summers with the Juneau Icefield Research Program in Alaska, where I saw first-hand the value of immersive outdoor/science learning programs, and how these experiences can impact us for the rest of our lives.  I’m therefore incredibly excited to help out with Girls on Ice Austria!
