For the last few weeks of my certification in UWF, I have been working on my GIS portfolio on WIX website. This GIS portfolio showcases an in-depth about myself and some of my GIS projects that I've worked as a student and as a GIS profession in our organization. I had a hard time digging up some of my works on the past years when I was just starting as a consultant. I realized that I have improved a lot in my skills and this is actually a good avenue to showcase some of it. Here's the link to my GIS portfolio . In addition, I also am preparing myself to apply for the Master's degree program in GIS Administration in UWF and continue my study. I hope that this portfolio will be helpful if needed be as a requirement in my application. I'm also sharing my LinkedIn here that contains some of my works and some of the articles I've written with some of my colleagues:  How to Protect Refugee Camps from Floods and Cyclones Using Geographic Information Systems Digitization ...

In our organization, I tend to lead the GIS Day event for the past years and my goal is to raise GIS awareness in our organization. For me, I'd like to host a "mappy-hour" or "mapathon" in our organization wherein we can have an MS Teams online event where I share how we can use HOTOSM/OSM to map out buildings. One of the things I think would be great is for us to start contributing in the datasets we tend to need most. Since all are going virtual then we can focus on having a 1-2 hour mappy event and then teach folks on how to contribute through HOTOSM.  We can partner with HOTOSM and then open a tile project for an area we would be able to use the building data and then give out mini-prizes for folks who will be able to map the most in the 2-hour event or maybe in a week. The whole staff can be invited but it will focus on GIS geeks and enthusiasts in our organization (probably). It will be a fun, and informal discussion on explaining how contributing to HOTOS...
