The possibilities using location-based (geospatial) technology to solve day-to-day problems stuck, and she found her true calling. Paula has over 20 years’ experience implementing geospatial data solutions. Her unique qualifications and experience come together as a highly skilled project manager who understands user needs, project deliverables, and client expectations to deliver quality products, on time, and within budget.
