Hello! I'm Priscilla!
I am a recent graduate from the University of Oklahoma, where I obtained my BA in anthropology. I am currently a graduate student at the University of West Florida, where I study GIS applications in archaeology. My lifelong aspiration has been to become an archaeologist, to which I will keep striving towards!

EXPERIENCE
2015-2017
Internship
INTERNSHIP AT THE CITY OF FOLEY
Foley, AL
My duties as an intern were to gather historical photographs for a web-based historic map collage. I researched viable web-based map services for the City of Foley to be used for public viewing. I integrated the data that I gathered into several web-based map services.
SKILLS
ESRI ARCGIS SOFTWARE

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR
ESRI WEB-BASED MAPPING
METADATA MANAGEMENT
GIS MODELING
The feature I identified for this lab was a large tract of bare soil located at the southern tip of the city, surrounded predominantly by urban area and some vegetation directly to the south of it.
In this lab, predictive modeling was used to determine potential site locations in the Tangle Lakes Archaeological District in Alaska. Predictive modeling is a useful tool for estimating the amount of time and money needed to devote to any given area, as well as the amount of field survey effort.
In this lab, a supervised classification of current land use in Germantown, Maryland was conducted using ERDAS Imagine.
In this week's lab, our main focus was classifying and applying raster imagery to a real world scenario. The Landsat raster data was downloaded from USGS Earth Explorer and covers a portion of the Rio Azul National Park in Mexico.
This week, we gathered data on shipwrecks in the Biscayne National Park. This data will be used to generate a weighted overlay model. Data gathered includes a historical nautical chart from 1892, a current ENC, and bathymetric data for the Biscayne Bay.
In this lab, we georeferenced a historical map of Macao (present day Macau), created by explorer James Cook and published in 1785. Macau is located nearby Hong Kong, China and is a popular tourist location. The image was downloaded from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection website.
My objectives going into the project were to: create my own tabular data, convert that data into something visibly tangible (i.e. shapefile), determine how to display each dataset thematically, choose an appropriate projection, determine how to classify the datasets, create appropriate labels, utilize inset maps, and determine how to present the most of my data without cluttering my map.
In this module's lab, we used ArcScene to create a 3D representation of a shovel test site on the College Lake County Campus in Grayslake, Illinois.This is the map I made for the geological layers and their strata.
