Amanda Medendorp

Amanda Medendorp has been an invaluable member of T-Kartor since April 2022. Amanda worked with us as a subcontractor before joining the team as a full-time employee. She learned about the geospatial field through her education in Atmospheric Sciences at Northern Illinois University, where she received a GIS certificate in addition to her diplomas.

Amanda's coursework at NIU was similar to the projects we do at T-Kartor, making for a smooth transition. Our initial training helped her acclimate to the company and the workflow process.

Amanda is incredibly thankful for her remote role and daily flexibility, given the current job market climate. She applauds the relaxed and friendly culture fostered at T-Kartor and cultivated daily by her teammates and her. 

Amanda pays close attention to detail and efficiently learns new tech; she attributes these skills to her successes in the geospatial field thus far. Since starting at T-Kartor, she has only gotten quicker at projects and has garnered a love of working with satellite imagery.

The geospatial industry is ever-changing, and Amanda is eager to see how it evolves in the coming years. She expects geospatial technology to improve continuously with new integrations and algorithms and feels that the integration of AI will be especially notable. "It's all about getting better at what we do as time goes on."

Although Amanda is based in the suburbs of Chicago right now, she's been excited to see St. Louis transform into a geospatial hub. With more geospatial companies moving their offices to St. Louis and the construction of the NGA St. Louis Campus (formerly NGA West) in the Downtown North District, there's much to look forward to. 

When Amanda isn't at work, you might find her at the gym or spending time outside. She loves animals and currently cares for several reptile species.
