History
Committed to Excellence
Started my career in emergency services as a 9-1-1 dispatcher in 2006. I also worked as a paid on-call Firefighter and a Auxiliary Police Officer.
In 2008, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Elmhurst College in Geography and GIS (Geographic information Systems). Since then I have been creating and editing layers for a 9-1-1 center.
Fast forward to 2019, I am a 7 year veteran police officer in a Chicago suburb and decided it was time to create a GIS business to expanded my reach into other avenues, like business growth and solutions.

Our Projects
Helping Businesses Blossom
Illinois NG 911
We're working with the State of Illinois and local governments to help upgrade and standardize the 911 system to ensure the safety of Illinois residents and visitors. To do this, we work with various agencies throughout the state to ensure that their areas of responsibility meet the states minimum standard of 98% accuracy by July 2020.

REZ Furniture Analysis
We approached this project carefully, as it was our first undertaking in market and business analysis for growth. We studied our client’s business to create a focused and effective solution.
​
During our study we were able to suggest ways to improve their data to make it more effective and informative. REZ Furniture was able to use our information and create better marketing strategies.
​
We loved working with this client, and look forward to collaborating together on many more successful projects in the future.
