Cartography

Hi, I'm Nicki.

I make maps. I studied geography and GIS as an undergraduate, which sent me down the path to a Master's in Cartography and GIS from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Currently my geospatial work is in commercial poultry, where I blend my love of geography with a lifelong interest in agriculture. In my free time, I can usually be found birding and hanging out with my dog.

Birdwatching doesn't require remote locations far from habitation.
