Sarah Frost
Although keen on many areas of geography, Sarah’s top interest lies in spatially integrated social sciences. Her Master of Arts work uses GIS to analyze the spatial distribution of resources assisting trafficked persons throughout the state of Missouri, while a publication co-authored during her Bachelor of Arts examined indigital frameworks for geographic and GIS education. As the GIS Analyst for Phase I of the SENS-D project (an NSF Convergence Accelerator 2022 cohort member, now in Phase II), Sarah is eager to use GIS for future research related to epidemiology and social inequities as well as sustainability and environmental concerns.
