Hi! I am Alex Nelson. Most notably known as a cartographer, sports fan, music lover and Scandinavia enthusiast. I’m exploring different realms of cartography as a current UW-Madison student and have a drive to learn data analysis interpretation as well as mastering my skills as a cartographer. I am currently in my second year as an undergrad transfer student studying cartography and GIS. I have an interest in urban planning, history and graphic design. When I am not studying, I enjoy dabbling in music production and watching sports, such as football, basketball, baseball and volleyball to name a few.
I am currently taking on a leadership role as a customer service representative at Copps Food Center. My goals for next semester and during the summer, is getting involved with the UW Cartography Lab. My goal for my career is to combine my love in cartography and graphic design with my interests in urban planning and history. I am always looking forward to finding new ways to challenge myself in cartographic design and GIS analysis.
