Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Olsen is a lab coordinator and geography educator with eight years of experience managing mixed-use GIS and geology computing facilities at the University of Idaho and a longer history of teaching physical and human geography courses. He combines hands-on technical skills—maintaining a 22‑workstation lab and building custom computers—with curriculum development and direct instruction in GIS, cartographic design, remote sensing, and regional environmental topics. An Alaskan Native rooted in Pacific Northwest landscapes, he leverages that heritage and field experience to make geographic concepts practical and culturally relevant for students, including work developing climate-change curricula for the region. Comfortable training graduate TAs and supporting researchers, he bridges hardware, software, and pedagogy to keep labs and courses running smoothly. Colleagues appreciate that he pairs technical curiosity (and a dry sense of humor, per his GitHub quip) with a devotion to hands-on learning and community-focused outreach.
