• Develop and maintain TTC's community-facing GIS tools in collaboration with Projects & Programs, External Affairs, and Development teams, such as interactive trail maps, event maps, environmental monitoring dashboards, and public StoryMaps.
• Build and maintain ArcGIS StoryMaps, dashboards, and public-facing web maps supporting community engagement, donor communication, and event programming.
• Serve as internal trainer and help-desk resource for field staff and park crew using ESRI and OpenGov mobile and desktop interfaces.
