Her passion for GIS began with her interest in human-environmental relationships, and her graduate thesis studied the growing impact of flood-induced cascading disasters caused by sea level rise. Margaret leverages her foundation in research methodologies and spatial analysis techniques in her role at Esri, where she creates written content and demonstrations on features in ArcGIS Pro. She also contributes to refining and redesigning geoprocessing tools and functions.
