Amanda Suzzi-Simmons, PhD
Post-doctoral Scholar
Department of Ecosystem Science and Management
Penn State University
Hi! I'm Amanda Suzzi (she/they), a GIS/stats nerd and a huge fan of cold brew and listening to Christmas music all year round! Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, I received a B.S. in Environmental Science from Franklin Pierce University, a Masters of Geography - GIST, and a PhD in Environmental Conservation from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My expertise is in leveraging GIS, remote sensing, and statistical techniques to tackle complex environmental challenges. When I’m not immersed in the world of geospatial science, you might find me spending quality time with loved ones, scouring flea markets for hidden treasures, or indulging in my passion for roller derby. After all, a well-rounded life fuels a well-rounded scientist!
