After over a decade serving state and local government, Pam recently started her own GIS consulting and contracting business. She hopes to use her diverse skills in geospatial data management and analysis, Python scripting process automation, web development, and project management to continue supporting businesses, non-profits and small government agencies in the Pacific Northwest.

Pam started her career in wildlife biology, but in 2009 followed her passion for GIS to graduate school at Idaho State University. She then spent six years as a GIS analyst for Idaho Department of Fish and Game and four years as a GIS System Project Coordinator for the City of Boise before opening her own business, Go West Geospatial Services, in the fall of 2022. Currently she is on contract with the State of Idaho helping counties across the state prepare their GIS data for Next Generation 9-1-1, providing GIS support for a small environmental consulting company, and other little projects as they pop up. She has been an active member of the Idaho GIS community as an Idaho Geospatial Council member, volunteer for events/conferences, and mentor to budding GISers.
