Biography

Occupation: Geospatial Analyst Employer: Defence Geographic Centre Memo: I am a geography and geology graduate from Brunei University. I have worked as a Geospatial Analyst for the MOD's Defence Geographic Centre since 1991. The majority of my early career has been in the map production field, utilising conventional and digital cartographic techniques. In the last 6 years my career has encompassed other roles including managing geographic library materials, both in hard and soft copy formats and evaluating and selecting these as sources, leading to writing instructions on their use for map production. I am also a qualified trainer, supervisor and assessor for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme facilitating expeditions at bronze, silver and gold levels, encouraging young people to study geography in the British countryside.
