Jazzmen has made her mark through her GIS podcast, interviewing fellow geophiles and participating in panels telling her own story. In this episode we will talk about that winding path that got her to the geo-world, whether it’s more fulfilling to be a subject matter expert or generalist and what’s got her feeling settled in her current spot.
