“Since starting my internship at GIS I have begun training using arcgisPro. So far I’ve been watching tutorials and creating mini projects to practice. I’m excited to continue learning more about GIS and begin work on our projects.” -Dasia Wright
Dasia was introduced to Hopeworks while working at Adventure Aquarium. The night of our Annual Dinner, Dasia decided she wanted to learn more about Hopeworks and ended up starting her training right away! This month, she started her internship within our GIS department and has already proved to be a valuable asset to the team. Dasia balances her new internship with her classes at Rutgers University, as she works towards her goal of becoming a software developer. We look forward to supporting Dasia with all that she continues to strive for.
