Available to hire
Hi, I’m Laura. I am a Remote Sensing and GIS specialist with a focus on applying Earth Observation data to climate adaptation, water resources assessment, and agro-ecological planning. I work with satellite data, geospatial analysis, and hydroinformatics workflows, using Python-based spatial data processing and SQL to build reproducible, data-driven solutions.
I have delivered national-scale mapping, indicators, and web cartography for agricultural and environmental projects, developed geodatabases to standardize diverse datasets, and produced technical reports and scientific writings. I enjoy turning complex geospatial insights into actionable decisions and collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to support sustainable development goals.
