"I am a recent graduate from Samford University where I received a bachelors degree in Geography and Environmental Science and a certificate in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS). During my time at university, I worked as a lab assistant in a GIS lab twice a week. In this role, I supported undergraduate students with their labs, projects, and homework, helping them navigate the complexities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). My duties involved guiding students through the software and providing explanations for concepts that were often difficult to grasp. This hands-on experience strengthened my understanding of GIS while also allowing me to develop my teaching and problem-solving skills.

This experience taught me the value of flexibility and patience when teaching complex material." less...
