Where do you work and what is your role? Hi! My name is Michelle and I am currently looking for a position as a GIS technician. I graduated with a Master degree in Meteorology where I took GIS courses and fell in love. The courses I took focused on learning how to use ArcGIS to analyze marine and atmospheric data. What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? (big or small - no win is out of bounds) While searching for a position, I have also been keeping up with my skills by enrolling in online courses and doing various tutorials either on ERSI's site, or others. When I complete each course, or tutorial, I take it as a win! I come away with knowledge, either new or old (great refreshers!) that I can use as a GIS professional. Most of the time I use ArcGIS (ArcMap). What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community? My expertise is in analyzing risk to an area (town, city, street), or to a parcel (home, business...etc) due to sea level rise and storm surge with ArcGIS. I believe it is extremely important to use GIS to inform the public (everyone loves visuals!) about climate change, which will hopefully help initiate change and technological advances needed in our ever changing world. Favorite Place - so far! I can't wait to continue to travel and explore other places! 37.1773° N, 3.5986° W
