Christopher Davis

GIS Anaylist

My Education...

I attended Kennesaw State University from January 2015 through April 2016, where I pursued the GIS Certificate.

I previously graduated from the University of Georgia in 2013 with a B.S in Geography and Atmospheric Sciences.


My Work Experience...

After KSU, I've spent a year working as a federal contractor for NOAA's National Ocean Service in Silver Spring, Maryland. I was a Coastal Hazards and Resilience GIS Specialist for the Center of Operational Oceanographic Products and Services from April 2016 until May 2017.

Following that job, I was a GIS Analysist for the Middle Georgia Regional Commission in Macon, Georgia, from November 2017 until December 2019.


Did the GIS courses at KSU prepare you well for your future career?

Absolutely! I took Introduction to Cartography, Intro to GIS, Advanced GIS, and Introduction to Remote Sensing for my GIS Certificate. To finish my GIS Certificate, I interned with Jennifer Lana at Cobb County GIS. The GIS education that Kennesaw State gave me plus the practical GIS experience I gained through my internship at Cobb County GIS helped me hit the ground running in my career. I believe the program made me a desired candidate during my job search.
