Bridgit Hebner - Junior GIS Specialist
Hi! My name is Bridgit Hebner and I started work as a Junior GIS Specialist at the Geodienst in August 2023. I am from the United States and currently study the Environmental and Infrastructure Planning master program at the Faculty of Spatial Sciences.

Elmeri Niemi - Junior GIS Specialist
Hello! My name is Elmeri Niemi and I’ve been a Junior GIS Specialist at Geodienst since March 2021. I’m from Finland and currently a full time student at RUG, studying a research master in Spatial Sciences. Combining my curiosity towards the technical aspects of the field, working with GIS was a natural path. My strengths are in the use of open source GIS tools, such as QGIS and in text-based GIS using a variety of scripting/programming languages. Let's work together with your data to find the optimal uses for it!
