Lauren Strug

I earned a Master's of Geographic Information Science at the University of Minnesota. I served as President of the GIS Student Organization in 2018-19. I was the Teaching Assistant for Principles of Cartography and Princples of GIS.

In 2019 I won second place in the MN GIS/LIS Graduate Student Scholarship competition for my collaborative Twitter API and Transit research. I attended the Esri User Conference in July 2019 as a Student Assistant. In 2018, I won honorable mention in the U-Spatial Mapping Competition.

I am the GIS Programmer at the California Center for Sustainable Communities primarily working on the Energy Atlas projects.
