Brendali Carrillo graduated in 2018 with a masterโ€™s degree in parks, recreation and tourism management. She now works as a research professor in the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences. ๐Ÿ“š

"When I was in college, I worked as a teaching assistant so I had the chance to meet most professors and learn from each and every one of them. I was inspired by how empathetic and approachable they were, and I wanted to be that kind of professor in the future. Now that I work in academia in Peru, I try to inspire my own students and motivate them to commit to their own growth and I let them know that they can count on me for advice."

Vinicius Perin graduated in 2022 with a Ph.D. in geospatial analytics from #NCStateCNR's Center for Geospatial Analytics. He now works as a geospatial software engineer for @planetlabs in San Francisco, California. ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ ๐ŸŒŽ

Vinicius said what inspired him to study geospatial analytics were photos of the Earth, political boundaries, different biomes and geography. 

"These topics have always sparked a sense of curiosity and exploration in me. The grandiosity of a single satellite imagery covering a large swath of Earthโ€™s surface really brought me into geospatial analytics; I can go for hours looking at different images and trying to understand what they are telling us."
