Tarisiro Chikosha

I am a highly analytical young lady who completed an Honours Degree in Geographical Information Science at the University of Namibia and currently undertaking a Computer Science degree at University of the People, California USA which I expect to finish by year end. I also hold 2 years working experience. 

I have considerable knowledge in conducting data capturing, data cleaning, map production, geocoding, data maintenance and editing and management of geospatial databases. My programming skills and machine learning skills are excellent and I am even working on advancing my knowledge through my computer science degree. Satellite imaging is also one of my key skills and I am confident I will be able to carry out the job well with minimum supervision.
