Malone has over 20 years of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experience working with local and regional agencies. Through practical experience and self motivation, Malone has developed competence in a broad range of subjects, including the spatial aspects of location, distribution and interaction; environmental planning, design and restoration. It is her belief that in order to comprehend how natural systems function, the physical and socio-economic processes must also be identified in the development of geospatial data. As a GIS Specialist, Malone’s tasks involve creating maps, charts and graphics for comprehensive plans, annexation studies, community redevelopment plans, beautification plans and water quality reports and studies. Her responsibilities include generating customized, site-specific location and description maps, converting data into geospatial information, generating hydrographs and the preparation of statistical analysis reports using Arc/Info. Malone has worked extensively as a Scientist/Geographer with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
