About Me

Hi! I’m Kristina, and I completed my M.S. in Environmental Science. My experience includes freshwater ecology research and geospatial analysis to analyze and communicate climate risk. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities like paddleboarding and tennis. I also like playing guitar.

I welcome you to take a look at my portfolio by clicking on one of the images above! Above the images is a link to my RPubs page which features web maps I've made.
