Hi there 👋🏾 I’m Laura, a Geospatial engineer passionate about using open technology and open data to create positive change. I currently work at Code for Africa managing africanDRONE and sensors.AFRICA community initiatives. These initiatives pioneer the use of drones and sensors for climate change and deforestation monitoring, water and air quality detection, and pollution detection in African cities, as well as open data collection and mapping.

In my free time, I volunteer with tech communities including OSM communities!

When I’m not mapping, I’m reading books📚 or curating music playlists🎧.
