I’m Dominic Vento, a recent graduate from Michigan State University with a B.S. in Environmental Geography. My work focuses on using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial data to address environmental challenges and promote equity through accessible, data-driven storytelling. With experience in fieldwork, mapping, and environmental consulting, I’m passionate about bridging science, technology, and community impact. I'm currently based in Michigan and open to opportunities that blend GIS, environmental analysis, and inclusive design.
