JORDAN FREY

I am currently a master's student at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts where I study geographic information science (GIS). In general, I focus my studies on learning methods for storing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data for business, public administration, and environmental applications. Prior to my academic work in Worcester, I obtained a bachelor's degree in environmental studies from Ithaca College. Following this, I was a communications fellow at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, and in 2016, I worked with the Student Conservation Association under the auspices of the AmeriCorps. After obtaining a certificate of advanced study in data science from Syracuse University in 2018, I interned for the Intelligence Group LLC where I developed R and VBA scripts to clean, format, and process data. 

During the spring of 2019, I was a teaching assistant for the course Geospatial Analysis with R where I helped reinforce concepts in coding, version control, and GIS.

​For the summer of 2019, I worked as a geospatial intern at Travelers Insurance in Hartford, CT where I utilized tools such as R, Python, ArcGIS Pro/ArcMap, SQL Server, and MicroStrategy for a variety of automation, web scraping, business intelligence, and reporting tasks.

For the 2019-2020 academic year and through the beginning of summer, I have been a research assistant for Dr. Rinku Roy Chowdhury, studying urban resiliency. I have been using the tools R, ArcMap, and TerrSet to clean, visualize, and analyze heterogeneous and multivariate geospatial data.

Aside from my professional work, I am an avid outdoorsman and have interests in hiking, cycling, skiing, and camping. When I'm not outdoors, you can find me baking in the kitchen, playing chess, watching a classic movie, or binge-watching Star Trek.

I am always open to learning about available opportunities in GIS, data engineering, business intelligence, and analytics. Please contact me with any questions about my skill set and availability.
