I am a data/GIS analyst at the Center for Applied Research and Engagement Systems (CARES) at the University of Missouri. I work with a wide variety of data, mostly publicly available, around broadband, demographics, health, commuting, natural resources, economics, and more! We have a variety of mapping and reporting tools that we build out and make available to users and I'm happy to share with anyone who is interested. One of particular interest for antendees to this conference would be mobroadband.org.

I am also a PhD student in geoinformatics. My project is utilizing machine learning to identify the presence and model the spread of an invasive tree in Missouri.
