<div>I don't think I have introduced myself- and I have been on the list for months!</div>
<div>I teach sociology at a small Christian liberal arts university in central Arkansas. I signed on to get GIS experience, but I have not had time!</div>
<div>I Amanda applied sociologist, and live mapping. We have a drone at our school, but I have not used it.</div>
<div>Looking forward to participating.</div>
<div>Any Ouachita Baptist alumna? ( that is where I teach)</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My apologies as I’ve only been on this mailing list for a few days and have already jumped into the conversation without introducing myself!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been involved in my local (Toronto, ON, Canada) OpenStreetMap community for a number of years. Participating has brought together my interests in GIS as well as community development.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By day I conduct research and program evaluations in the health services field with a focus on health informatics. I have a fairly good technical and applied background in web-based initiatives and their application in health, particularly
in relation to patient engagement via computer-mediated communication. Before attending graduate school I worked in the HIV/AIDS community here in Toronto. Over the years I’ve been on several committees, boards and am a founding member of Patients Canada.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interested in shifting my research to be more GIS focused. To support this I’m currently studying GIS at Ryerson University.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In closing I hope to learn more about HOT and support its activities in any way possible.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<u></u><u></u></p>
