Marie Haddad, a spring 2023 Environmental Studies graduate, has secured a job using the skills she learned in the GIS course only months after graduating! Her final project in the class was focused on environmental justice and air quality. She took temporal air quality data and interpolated it across the entire state to show estimates of concentrated pollution. She linked the pollution data to census data to investigate whether the areas were marginalized. 
 

She is now employed at Geographic Computer Technologies in Metairie, a company which deals with urban planning for local governments in the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Congratulations Marie!
