Current Interns

Dominic Austin | Undergraduate Intern
Dominic, from Anchorage, Alaska, is a Junior studying Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology with a minor in GIS for Natural Resources. After an early exposure to GIS shifted his course to include the GIS minor, Dominic developed a passion for combining geospatial analysis with fish and wildlife conservation and biology. With prior drone operation and surveying experience, he has thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills in geospatial software and Python coding for GIS. Outside his work at the Centroid, Dominic is mapping spatial distribution trends in Mallard USGS Band recoveries in the central migratory flyway, and mapping the history of Cutthroat Trout restoration in Colorado in partnership with CPW. When he’s not studying or working on GIS projects, Dominic spends much of his free time rock climbing, trail running, fly fishing, hunting, and going on adventures with his roommates.

Anthony Berardi | Undergraduate Intern
Anthony is a senior majoring in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology with a minor in GIS for Natural Resources. Seeing how GIS could support spatial ecology and conservation planning led him to pursue geospatial work through internships with the Colorado State Forest Service and the Geospatial Centroid. At the Centroid, Anthony supports students and faculty with GIS projects, creates maps, code, and spatial data products for partners, and contributes to public outreach. Outside the Centroid, he serves on the steering committee for Colorado Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation and enjoys conducting fieldwork focused on reptiles and amphibians across Colorado.

She hopes to continue working in GIS and is passionate about projects at the intersection of GIS, remote sensing, and environmental management.

Connor Siegfreid | Intern
Connor is currently pursuing his undergraduate degree in Ecosystem Science and Sustainability with a minor in GIS at CSU. His career objectives include plans to use geospatial ecology, remote sensing, and GIS technologies to assist in agricultural production in face of climate change. Previously attending the Colorado Film School and Denver School of the Arts for cinematography and digital design, Connor has created content for Rocky Mountain PBS, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and the Denver Film Society. Outside of the Centroid, Connor serves as a CSU Ecoleader and volunteers with Wildlands Restoration. In his down time, he enjoys playing ambient guitar, creating bicycle restoration videos, building Linux kernels, and practicing digital illustration.
