I graduated from CA State University, Fresno with a degree in Surveying Engineering and Applied Mathematics. I have worked for the California Department of Transportation as a Transportation Surveyor for over 25 years; working in San Luis Obispo and Fresno for the first 4 years in the Surveys department. Next I accepted a position in the Photogrammetry department in Sacramento, where I worked the next 4 years. For the last 17+ years, I have worked in the "Office of CADD and Engineering GIS Support". My duties include software support for the users, writing manuals, writing applications in C, vb.net and VBA to enhance software for Caltrans needs and standards. I am currently working on the utility database.
When not working, I volunteer at our local dog shelter and spend time with my husband and our 3 dogs.
