Excited to Connect! I'm an Operation Specialist in Professional Services at Esri

[AlyssaLougee]

Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa, and I am thrilled to be part of this incredible community of young professionals passionate about GIS and the impact it has on the world.

I currently work as an Operation Specialist in Professional Services at Esri, where I help support and drive operational success within the Advantage Program and other organizational offerings. My journey with Esri began through the internship-to-hire pathway from the University of Redlands, an experience that deepened my understanding of GIS and solidified my passion for this field. It's been an exciting transition, and I'm grateful for the opportunities to grow and learn alongside such talented individuals.

I'm looking forward to networking, sharing experiences, and learning from all of you. Whether it's discussing career paths, best practices in GIS, or simply connecting over shared interest, I'm eager to hear from you! Lets connect and build a strong community together.

Looking forward to engaging with you all!

Hi Alyssa, it’s great to see your journey from internship to a full-time role at Esri—such an inspiring path! I'm currently a graduate student working on wetland inundation mapping using GIS, remote sensing, and LiDAR data to support flood resilience planning. Your role as an Operations Specialist within the Advantage Program sounds fascinating, especially in how it contributes to optimizing geospatial solutions across organizations.

I'm also excited to be part of this vibrant community and look forward to learning from professionals like you who are shaping the future of GIS from both a technical and strategic perspective. Looking forward to connecting! Here is my LinkedIn profile - Matilda|LinkedIn
