Mina Schneck

Mina is a geographer with her bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies and a Professional Science Masters in Geographic Information Systems from Temple University. Her work encompasses a wide range of topics and includes the E-G Central Pennsylvania energy project, in which she conducted ethnographic research to gather a grasp on rural perspectives towards energy and energy preferences. She also recently completed an independent GIS analysis for the Philadelphia Streets Department, where she created an automated process for her team to easily identify local roadways that are eligible for designation to the FHWA roadway network and related funding. With a strong background in cartography, Mina is most passionate about mapping the bigger picture, and further delving into the geographic contexts that lie within the map. She is also eager to find ways of integrating GIS with any of her research with a goal of improving accessibility and exposure to the tool.
