Clarity from Complexity.

Hi, I’m Becky — a GIS analyst with a background in criminology and a long-standing curiosity about how places, people, and data intersect. My path into GIS grew from an interest in understanding patterns in the world around me: how information clusters, how landscapes shape behaviour, and how data—when handled with care—can reveal what isn’t immediately visible.

My work is grounded in the idea that clarity is one of the most valuable things data can provide.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology from Simon Fraser University and am completing my GIS Applied Degree at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. My work centres on building structured data models, cleaning and standardizing real-world datasets, and using spatial analysis and visualization to bring clarity to complex questions. I’m drawn to projects where data serves a purpose: informing decisions, improving systems, or simply making something easier to understand.

Before GIS, I worked across criminology, journalism, and addiction recovery programs. I’ve taught scuba diving, supported wilderness-based addiction recovery programming in Nordegg, and spent time living in Mexico and Costa Rica. Those experiences taught me to read both landscapes and communities with attention, which now informs the way I approach data—patiently, with curiosity, and with respect for the story behind the numbers.

In my portfolio, you’ll find work that reflects that approach: wildfire recovery mapping, crime and social-disorder analysis, land cover and habitat modelling, transportation safety studies, and data pipelines built with Python, SQL, and ArcGIS Pro. Across all of them, my goal is the same: turn messy, real-world information into something clear, reliable, and useful. If you’re working on a project where data, place, and problem-solving meet, I’d love to connect.
