Over the years, we have showcased their innovations with the hope of inspiring our readers to greater heights. Dr. Joseph Kerski joins us for our successful series of interviews, GeoInspirations. He is interviewing some of those men and women who have changed the face of our industry, shining a light on the importance of geography and geospatial technology. We hope that you’re inspired to make a difference with geography in your corner of the world.
This episode of GeoInspirations features Jenna Leveille, Deputy State Cartographer for the State of Arizona, and President of the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC). Learn about her work at the Arizona State Land Department and at NSGIC, her journey, and her advice for graduating students and those already following their career paths. Dr. Kerski shares, "I met Jenna through her leadership role with the Arizona Geographic Information Council. I have had the great pleasure of working with her and have great admiration for her work. Jenna has been planting seeds of geo-inspiration in Arizona and far beyond in the many roles and responsibilities that she has. I have especially appreciated her strong support for GIS education. I believe her story is a fascinating one for those listening to the podcast—and for people to share with others.”
