Where do you work and what is your role?
My name is Gemma Stubbs and I'm a GIS Specialist working at Stantec in the UK, providing support to an Environmental Compliance and Sustainable Development team.
What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use?
I've recently rolled out some basic GIS training using ArcGIS for desktop 10.5 to colleagues that had no experience of the software, with an end goal to enable them to use a template I created that brings together multiple open source data sets and client data, to help inform environmental assessments. This has massively improved efficiencies in the assessment production.
What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?
I've been working with GIS, mainly ESRI products for the last 16 years in a variety of roles over the years, ranging from cartographic roles, to data management roles all with an environmental emphasis. After a few years of being in project management roles, I'm back to being technical, and I'm looking forward to connecting with the community.
