Instructor Bio

I am Dr. Kim Baldwin, a marine ecologist and commercial drone pilot with over 20 years of experience conducting environmental field research and teaching in the Caribbean. As the Director of Marine Spatial Information Solutions (MarSIS), my mission is to empower individuals with the skills and tools to easily collect, understand, and create holistic geospatial information. Together, we can collaboratively develop practical solutions to effectively manage our environment.

Throughout my career, I have trained hundreds of individuals and large organizations across the Caribbean and beyond in safely flying drones, undertaking commercial operations, and implementing mapping and monitoring strategies. By equipping them with the necessary skills, they are able to collect, analyze and widely share environmental information, ultimately improving collaborative environmental management.

Over the years, I have refined my stakeholder engagement and mapping techniques, and I am excited to teach you a straightforward approach that can be easily applied to any industry-specific environmental application. Whether you are an individual, organization, or industry, I am here to help you leverage technology and improve your approach to environmental management. Together, we can make a positive impact in our world!
