Our conversations
helped me to not feel like
an impostor at work and
recognize that I have
something to contribute.
Maegan Blansett is a geospatial analyst
currently living in Denver, Colorado and
working on urban tree canopy assessments for
communities all over the world. Her favorite
part of her job is being able to communicate
the complicated (and/or boring) data science
behind her work to others and watching the
results get implemented in real life. When not
working, she enjoys skiing, going to concerts,
and hanging out with her many pets.
Miche Palmer is an urban
forester and arborist in New
York City who manages street
tree planting contracts and
teaches arboriculture classes.
When not talking trees, Miche
can be found running through
the parks of all five bo oughs
and upstate New York, chasing
the marathon dream.
