Hi Lisa,
I have volunteered my time throughout my entire career. I am currently
finishing a masters in astrophysics and supercomputing which is mostly
space based. I've been doing GIS forever and wish to collaborate with those
who need a cartographer. Volunteering has enriched my career and portfolio
beyond measure.
Cheers,
Sarah
