GSS SPOTLIGHT!

Ted Sweet

What is your education and/or professional background?

I’m a senior at Saint Mary’s majoring in Math and Physics with an engineering emphasis. I started working for GSS in May 2019.

What led you to GIS? More specifically, how did you get to Saint Mary's University of Minnesota (SMUMN) in Winona? 

I came to campus on a tour with my sister and decided this is where I wanted to go to school.

Explain briefly a project at GSS you've done that contributed to your overall knowledge and educational experience.

Currently I am working on a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wetland mapping project in all of southern Wyoming, where I am learning all about connectivity.

How do you see GIS fitting into your future? 

I am not sure how I see GIS fitting into my future but it is a distinct possibility.

Where can we find you outside of GSS?

Outside of GSS, you can find me on the track or in the weight room.
