The extended research section spans my Graduate Student career at the University of Nevada, Reno, ranging from 2018-2023. Much of the research domain was comprised of semester to year-long projects with the goal to publish or present at regional conferences. The research complements a unique curriculum path, combining upper-level Geography courses (Advanced GIS, Spatial Analysis, Drone Technologies with GIS, Advanced Cartography & Design, Python in GIS) with upper-level courses in Information Systems and Statistics (Databases, Internet Programming, Data Science, Python for IS, Data Visualization, Econometrics, Structural Equation Models and Multilevel Modelling). The outcome of my degree in Masters of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) resulted in a practical blend of the two disciplines.
