HOW HAS BASELINE HELPED YOU TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER AS YOU EARN YOUR RPLS LICENSE?
Baseline has provided me with many studying opportunities to obtain my SIT and then subsequent RPLS. They have a wealth of knowledge in the form of other RPLSs who can answer questions and share their experiences. I have also attended many professional events to expand my network and gain valuable experience.
WHAT HAS BEEN ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE PROJECTS TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF?
My favorite projects are any TxDOT geographic information system (GIS) submittals. I love working in ArcMap and combining my previous knowledge from my degree with my current work in MicroStation. I also enjoy being able to help the company when there is a need for someone with GIS experience.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF SURVEYING THAT YOU COULDN’T GET FROM ANY OTHER KIND OF WORK?
I get a lot of variety from surveying. Every job is new and challenging in its own way, so I have to learn how to think like a surveyor to solve the problems as they arise.
YOU FIND A GENIE IN A LAMP AND HAVE BEEN GRANTED ONE WISH. WHAT WOULD YOUR ONE WISH BE?
I want to be able to learn the entire contents of a book, with perfect recall, just by touching it. Then, I could learn any subject or language instantly, making studying for my RPLS much easier.
