Background
Hi! I'm Carter Quesenberry, I graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelor of Science in Geography, a minor in Computer Science, and a Certificate of Proficiency in Geographic Information Systems.
I've always loved maps, so learning and working with GIS and cartography has been really enjoyable for me. I love creating maps and working with data to help make organizations better and more efficient.
When I'm not mapping or coding, you'll find me with a latte, consuming a good book or movie, or playing a new board or video game. I am excited to keep learning and growing as a GIS professional!
