Fikadu is a promising GIS professional. I taught him at UW Tacoma in the Master's of Geospatial Technology. He was part of my best group who continually demonstrated above and beyond work, creativity and attention to detail. I was impressed by his ability to work well with peers, teammates and meet challenging deadlines. Christina Chelf GIS Analyst at GeoEngineers
