Tonya Kauhi: Geospatial Data Services Group Leader with GeoEngineers Inc.
What was your favorite class in K-12? My favorite class was my 8th-grade Earth Science class. Every day we learned something new, different and challenging. The class combined hands-on learning with real world issues. I loved that we can use science to raise awareness and solve problems.
How did you first learn about and/or use GIS? I took the very first GIS class offered at University of Washington, Tacoma. A GIS Analyst from GeoEngineers came to share some of their projects with the class. I was so impressed by what you could by pairing GIS and science, I was hooked.
