I have over 30 years of experience in geospatial technologies and a proven track record of building innovative GIS solutions. I am fully proficient in the ESRI suite of products, including ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Workflow Manager and related tools. I have extensive experience with spatial analysis, geodatabase management, data visualization, and web GIS applications, ensuring effective use of the entire ESRI ecosystem for geographic data management and decision-making. I have extensive experience creating high-quality maps, dashboards, and visualizations that communicate complex geospatial data to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. My work has always focused on optimizing performance and user experience. Beyond my technical skills, I pride myself on being a strong communicator and collaborator. I have worked closely with cross-functional teams, including IT and engineering departments, to develop, deploy, and troubleshoot GIS applications. My ability to lead projects and provide ongoing technical support ensures that systems operate smoothly and that users can easily access the data and insights they need. I am also deeply committed to mentoring and supporting women in the GIS industry, having co-founded the NPO “HerGIS” to empower women in this field. I worked for the largest Bulk Water Utility in Africa, Rand Water for over 25 years. I created the GIS Data Portal and some of the highlights were linking the GIS Spatial data to the SCADA system and set the dashboard to receive automatic updates every 15 minutes or as the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System was updated. The reservoir level per system were displayed, The storage volumes per system and the total storage volume was also displayed. I was the project manager on the COVID 19 Water Tanks project in 2020 and I successfully managed the Spatial Data for all nine provinces, cleaning the incoming data, creating and maintaining the live dashboards. I linked the GIS Databases to the various systems within the organisation such as Maximo - to manage the leaks and pipeline condition assessments, LIMMS - to manage the chemicals used, SAP - to manage the assets. All of these dashboards were linked to Live Data. I was included in the ESRI South Africa - "Woman in GIS" book in 2022 and thereafter started my own GIS Company - AquaGIS. I am currently working on a project for one of the largest municipalities in Gauteng where I have been tasked to create a Spatial Data Management System, to do this I have used ArcGIS Workflow Manager to automate their application processes and have designed a website to showcase all of their Spatial Data and Documentation.
