I am a data science student and GIS enthusiast passionate about using spatial tools to understand real-world problems. This portfolio is the result of a hands-on project focused on the July 2025 Central Texas flood disaster, where I applied the full ArcGIS Online toolset to analyze, visualize, and communicate the impact of this catastrophic event.
Tools and skills used include:
ArcGIS StoryMaps – for narrative storytelling with text, maps, and images
ArcGIS Experience Builder – to build interactive web apps with filters, layer toggles, and data widgets
ArcGIS Survey123 – to design a public reporting tool for geolocated flood damage data
ArcGIS Dashboards – to monitor real-time submissions and visualize trends
Living Atlas and FEMA data – for high-quality base layers and flood risk data
Google Sites – to build and publish this portfolio
What I learned:
How to use GIS platforms to tell powerful spatial stories
How to design user-friendly tools for disaster reporting and response
The value of integrating real-time data, human stories, and maps
The critical role of flood preparedness in a changing climate
