Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCheryl Knott is an experienced data and GIS leader who has spent nearly 17 years ensuring accurate, accessible community indicators for Baltimore through the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance-Jacob France Institute. As Assistant Director she combines technical GIS and statistical skills (ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, SPSS) with project leadership—serving as PI on proposals, developing SOPs, and raising funds for citywide data initiatives like Baltimore Data Day. Her work spans neighborhood-level analyses of crime, housing, health, and capital equity, and she prioritizes data democratization by maintaining open data hubs and public-facing interactive visualizations. Cheryl also bridges practice and teaching as an adjunct instructor at UMBC, mentoring students in GIS, cartography, and spatial data methods. Uncommonly for a public-facing analyst, she develops block-level quantitative measures of urban crime risk and has translated those insights into grant-backed place-based interventions. Outside work she co-organizes MaptimeBmore and serves on Maryland open data committees, reflecting a sustained commitment to community-centered data practice.
