Join Elena Buenrostro as she talks with Bethany Hall, (certified GISP) Geographic Information Systems Coordinator at Consolidated Utility District as we discuss all about how she got started in drone mapping and GIS.

Bethany Hall has been flying UAVs for over five years as a licensed Part 107 Remote Pilot and is a Geographical Information Systems professional (GISP) with 20+ years of GIS experience in the electric and water utility industries at Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County. Currently, she is on special assignment as a participant with Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) assigned to the Department of Defense's (DoD) Department of POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. She is serving as the Field Data Collection Coordinator assisting field recovery teams with GPS equipment and mapping services to help recover missing U.S. servicemen around the World. Once her assignment is complete with ORISE and DPAA, she'll return to Consolidated Utility District in Murfreesboro, TN to resume her previous duties as GIS Coordinator.
In addition to flying UAVs and mapping battlefields with GIS, Bethany volunteers with the American Association of Geographer’s GeoMentor program introducing kids to geography and UAVs.
