Week 1-Meet Your Classmates!

My name is Kasey Helms and I just finished eight years in the Navy. I spent my last year living in Bahrain and completing my BS in Environmental Studies. I returned to Virginia at the end of December and now I am packing up my things so I can move back to Southern California at the end of the month. I have two dogs that love the beach and paddle boarding so I spend a lot of my free time around the water.
In the Navy I worked as a military intelligence analyst and that is how I was first introduced to GIS. Playing with ArcGIS became one of my favorite ways to pass time on deployment. I enrolled in this program because I want to transition into a civilian job in the GIS or analyst field and it never hurts to have some formal training. Someday I hope to create more user friendly GIS applications because I know the software and data can be really useful but many people have no idea how to use it. 
I made my story map about my time in Bahrain. Here is the link- http://bit.ly/1DWAtud
