Where do you work and what is your role? I'm Lisa Fulton (MS & GISP) and I currently work in Macon, Georgia as a Senior GIS Analyst at an engineering firm. We are working with cities for their local government GIS needs. I've worked in GIS for over 10 years for private and public sector organizations. I'm hoping to move forward to a coordinator, developer or GIS dba role in the next couple years. I'm also an online adjunct instructor for SNHU (GIS and Geography courses). What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? (big or small - no win is out of bounds) Most recently, as a result of my move from a regional government to the private world, I learned and transitioned to using ArcGIS Pro as my main program. I still use ArcMap for some tasks but will revert back to Pro as often as I can. In my previous role as a GIS Analyst at a Georgia regional commission, I coordinated the LUCA effort for the coastal region, completing those efforts under the required timeline with various types of data (and quality). Myself and a colleague also simplified and condensed a complicated Hazus workflow (using tax data) for the rest of the state of Georgia. Most staff times were reduced by 40%. My personal favorite projects usually involve disaster risk and assessment. What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community? I've gained quite a bit of expertise in working with people and how they prefer to interact with mapping and data. My biggest goal in any project is to make it seamless. I'd like the data to serve their purpose and the solutions to just work and live. One of the projects I've worked on in the past required data and a workflow that minimized errors with the syncing process. Once I had their requirements down, they experienced very few errors. I've loved working with local governments and especially public safety! My fiance and I share expertise in GIS (his background started in forestry). He serves as a volunteer firefighter, AEMT, and instructor. Coordinates of my Favorite Place: 30.6701° N, 81.4346° W
