I successfully received a Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP) certification from the Geographic Information Systems Certification Institute (GISCI).

The GISCI program is an examination-based, world-recognized certification, that includes an exam and self-documented and peer reviewed application as the evaluation mechanism. This program is for established GIS professionals interested in earning recognition from a credible 3rd party certification institute. It is a way of deepening one’s commitment to the field of GIS and for building professional esteem.

As of June 2026, I demonstrated that I have:

  • at least 4 years of professional experience
  • met the requirements of the Portfolio Review process, and
  • passed the GISCI Core Technical Exam®
