Background

About Ryan Welfle

I am passionate about creating, analyzing, and mapping data using GIS, in conjunction with a robust repertoire of programming and ancillary software skills. I have thus far specialized primarily in producing content related to environmental management. I am driven by opportunities to further develop my technical and team-working abilities, and to be a key ingredient in collaborative problem-solving. I seek to leverage my technical skills to assist with making complex or repetitive tasks more efficient and better automated, and to provide helpfulness, resourcefulness, and positivity to a dedicated team. My experience in the hospitality industry has helped build me into a personable, quick-thinking communicator, able to effectively multi-task and improvise when needed. Working as a long-time grassroots community project initiator and coordinator has grown my capacity to administrate, lead, and assemble workflows from the ground-up. As a self-motivated student at York University, my diligence and high focus towards my studies lead me to being awarded the York University Continuing Student Scholarship twice for outstanding academic achievement.
