Introducing Taylor Tremain – 2018 Damon Anderson Memorial Scholarship Winner

Taylor Tremain

Taylor Tremain
University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire

Taylor is a Senior majoring in Environmental Geography with a Geospatial Certificate emphasis in GIS. She is currently a GIS intern at Eau Claire County gaining experience working on historical aerial imagery georeferencing, zoning maps, and heat maps using geocoded addresses.  Taylor states “the internship has been a great experience not only learning more about working with GIS but working IN GIS. I’ve learned a lot about being in an office environment and what it is like to be a professional in the field.”

Taylor first heard of GIS by accident, taking a GIS course because it fit her major. “Peter Strand was my instructor and he held a class specifically talking just about jobs in the geospatial field which is when I realized that I could use GIS in environmental conservation or just work in GIS for a bit. It was after taking GIS I that I decided to pursue a certificate in GIS.”

Favorite map or GIS app? Taylor says she doesn’t have a specific favorite but loves to look for old maps in antique stores.

When she is not working or at school, Taylor enjoys hiking, swimming, board games, and reading. “I’m a huge nerd and love fantasy novels. Games are also my favorite thing and board games are underrated in my opinion.”

The WLIA 2019 Annual Conference will be Taylor’s second – she attended the 2018 Conference as a student volunteer and helped set up the map contest displays.

Look for Taylor at this year’s Annual to congratulate her for winning a WLIA Scholarship!
