Hello! I’m Flora 🌾
I’m an environmental data scientist supporting science-based management of environmental systems using geoprogramming, data analysis, and data science.
Currently, I’m a Research Associate at Colorado State University’s Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (NREL), supporting rangeland management research. My current work integrates varied datasets from field samples, remote sensing technology (drones & satellites), and other sources to analyze ecological patterns and support evidence-based landscape management strategies.
