Available to hire
Hi, I’m Kathleen Eichler. I’m a geospatial data specialist and project coordinator with a strong background in natural resources, GIS, logistics, and research. I enjoy turning complex data into clear, actionable insights and coordinating cross-functional teams across Europe and Australia. I’m comfortable working remotely, learning new tools quickly, and keeping a sharp eye for detail while delivering results that support organizational goals.
I thrive in multidisciplinary environments where I can apply a mix of science, technology, and design to real-world problems. My experience spans academic research, industry projects, and operational roles, and I’m excited to bring my curiosity, communication skills, and hands-on GIS and data capabilities to new challenges in software, consulting, or environmental domains.
