Lily Crandall-Oral, Masters Student
Department of Geography
Faculty of Arts
Lily has special expertise in making maps using ArcGIS and/or Adobe Illustrator, dynamic storymaps and sites using Esri ArcGIS Online, spatial analysis in geographic information systems (GIS), map critique, and creative cartography.
