About Me

Mission Statement

As an openly queer man, I have always felt it essential to give a voice to those who might not have a voice due to a range of social and systemic reasons.

For this reason, I will always try to see things from many perspectives, use data and facts to find solutions to the world's many problems, and always keep an open mind.

Career Goals

By 2023 I want to have fully completed my Bachelor of Applied Technology in GIS (BGIS)

After completing my BGIS in 2023, I hope to work with an urban non-profit, municipal government, or property development company working with data and GIS.

By 2028 or after several years working in my field, I hope to go back into the academic world and start a graduate degree in geography focusing on urban social issues like poverty, access to housing, and equity in the city.
