GIS Focus: Health Impact Assessments using GIS

GIS is important to me because: It allows us to better understand the spatial distribution of our neighborhood resources which can inform planning and policy to address social and environmental inequities. It also helps paint a better picture of those communities with the most need.

You Should Also Know: I'm currently involved with the Mayor's Open Space Task Force and the San Francisco GIS User Group.
