She’s worked with consulting firms, taught at universities, and currently work with the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Part of her role involves researching, analyzing, and mapping data to support our parks and natural resources. For example, she assists our environmental scientists at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software. She helps design digital surveys that work even in remote locations. Once the data is collected, she analyzes and visualizes it to make it easy to understand and use. One project she’s especially proud of: In 2024, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park was awarded as a “Quiet Park” by Quiet Parks International. Her contribution was creating a map that shows the quietest areas in the park, based on sound data collected by Matt Mikkelsen of Hayloft Audio LLC. You can view the interactive version of that map online: Anza-Borrego Quiet Map She has also developed public surveys that allow both staff and visitors to report damage to park resources, such as fire rings, graffiti, or other issues. These reports help park management make better decisions about where to focus resources and allocate budgets more effectively. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrab your Anza-Borrego Vintage Map Coffee Tumbler!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n			\n									\n						\n					\n									\n						\n					\n							\n		\n		\n\n			\n															\n									\n											\n									\n											\n							\n						\n											\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n						\n			\n					\n				\n					\n						\n							\n						\n					\n				\n				\n																\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nVintage Map Coffee Tumbler\n\n\n\n\n					$25.95\n				\n\n\n\nIn stock\n\n	\n	\n		\n		\n		Vintage Map Coffee Tumbler quantity\n	\n	\n\n		Add to cart\n\n			\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n				SKU:\n				110626\n				\n			\n\nCategory: Drinkware\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
