I graduated from UNL in December 2013 with a degree in geography. Upon graduating, I was interning at GIS Workshop Inc. as a GIS Technician Intern in Lincoln while waiting for admission to graduate school for the fall of 2014. I attended the University of Oregon for graduate school, and received a masters in Community and Regional Planning from UO in June 2016. While at UO, I interned with the US Department of Transportation - Federal Transit Administration. I received a job offer right before graduation from engineering firm AECOM in Los Angeles, CA and was with AECOM for a year and a half before obtaining another position at a smaller firm in Downtown Los Angeles as an Environmental Planner. I attribute my success thus far in my career to what I learned in geography department at UNL as well as the connections and tools I obtained in order to succeed. My academic advisor at CAS played a big part in that success and I owe her everything for that. I love the geography department at UNL, and owe people like Dr. Wishart everything. They are truly an important and meaningful part of what makes the department and CAS special.
