 personal_statement: I am a Physical Scientist at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine
   Science Center with the U.S. Geological Survey. I oversee projects that define
   shorelines and measure shoreline change. I am interested in maintaining foundational
   shoreline datasets that support more complex models of coastal change. My focus
   recently has been helping migrate the USGS's Digital Shoreline Analysis System
   software (an application that calculates shoreline or boundary change over time)
   to a platform agnostic application that can run without the need for a licensed
   GIS software, supporting the needs of the global user base for change analysis.
