About me
Claire Brumbaugh-Smith is a GIS Technician at Parametrix, and recently completed a M.A. in Geography at Portland State University. Claire also has a Certificate in GIS from Portland State University and has a BA in Environmental Studies-Biology from Reed College. Claire has participated in amphibian and turtle surveys in the Portland area, which has led to an interest in the role of participatory GIS in analysis and decision making. She is especially interested in the open source GIS community and how user-centered design in web maps can be used to increase the accessibility of maps and mapmaking.
