Hey, Maryland Land Surveyors! That CAD Girl will see you in Ocean City

I’d like to say a great big “Thank you” to the Maryland Society of Surveyors for inviting me to speak at your upcoming conference – it’ll be great to see you again!

Join me for my sessions on Survey Project from Start to Finish and Surface Modeling in Carlson Software.

In between sessions, please don’t hesitate to stop by my booth in the exhibit hall to say “Hi!” and ask any questions you have about Carlson Software.

See you in Ocean City! 🌊🏖️


Can’t wait to see our Kentucky Surveyors!

I’m very excited to be going back to My Old Kentucky Home and having the privilege of teaching a couple of classes at the 2024 KAPS Annual Conference!

One of my sessions will be a new formulation that combines parts of my Field to Finish class with Survey Project from Field to Plotted sheet. Can’t wait to see everyone there!
