Bio
Jeff Laramy, GISP
Caitlin's main task was to combine the Lake Michigan Ravine Assessment Report with the final Strategic Subwatershed Identification Program report. Because of her strong GIS skills, she also completed many other analytical tasks that I would have had to do at a later date. This was an added bonus we did not account for when we hired her. She more than exceeded expectations on this project. As mentioned above, I was most impressed with Caitlin's GIS skills. She mentioned in an initial phone conversation that she was familiar with the software but would be TAing a class before her internship with us. When she arrived, she had very strong GIS skills and helped out a lot with various GIS tasks and saved me a lot of time in the process. Besides the GIS work, her previous education, strong interest in environmental issues, and great work ethic were crucial in completing the necessary assignments. Caitlin was a great asset to our agency. She was always very pleasant, respectful, professional and well prepared. She was a joy to work with and in addition to her own heavy workload, she always found the time to assist others.
