Aliza Drewes

Austen provided excellent support by analyzing and layering GIS data and creating user-friendly maps. She was proactive in finding solutions, asked for guidance on critical issues, and was responsive to feedback and timely delivery of products. I highly recommend Austen if you're looking for a self-starter who is analytically talented and committed to constructively addressing climate change.

Joe M.

Austen has a great attitude and always presents creative new approaches to the challenges she is solving. She tackles assignments head on and is good about asking for direction when needed.
