Current project

Right now, I am working on my thesis, A geospatial analysis of factors contributing to North American professional sports stadium relocations from 1992-2022. As of Fall 2023, I have finished my data collection, am finishing up drafts of my introduction and literature review. I am looking forward to getting started on analysis and wrapping this project up in Spring 2024!

I also finished presenting my project, "The relationship between city parks and income by neighborhood in Greeley, Colorado," at the University of Northern Colorado's Graduate Research Evening. Next steps for this project are creating a web application from my findings and working with the City of Greeley on solutions based on the findings of this project!
