About Emily Weber
I am currently a GIS Specialist at Pro-West & Associates. I am also pursuing a Master of Science degree in Data Intelligence and GeoAnalytics at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. I bring broad curiosity, a deep commitment to learning, and an energetic work ethic to any role I take on. As part of a team I am attentive to individual strengths and how they can help make our work better. I live in south Minneapolis with my husband, daughter, and cat, where we try to ride our bikes as much as possible.
Note: This portfolio represents work completed as part of the DIGA program.
