STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Nicole Fink
Geospatial Solutions Manager
Department: Geospatial Solutions Department
AESI Staff since 2022
​
Nicole joined AESI in the Spring of 2022 and has been essential in driving the growth of our Geospatial Solutions group. While in school, she was drawn to geography, and something clicked when she took her first GIS course. After graduation, GIS kept drawing her back in and she pursued an Advanced Diploma in GIS from the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
Nicole appreciates the variety that comes with working in GIS and leading the Geospatial Solutions group here at AESI. She spends most of her days configuring web-based GIS applications, maintaining spatial datasets, and working with her team to balance the workload of the various GIS requests that are completed to support all the AESI departments. The team has completed nearly 800 work requests in 2024. She has played a huge role with our water rights clients across King, Skagit, and Whatcom Counties, building resources and applications that display their data in a meaningful and easy to understand way. Nicole’s biggest strengths are her ability to see the big picture and her tenacity to work through complex problems in a strategic and well-thought-out way, and this is evident in the quality of products that she and her team puts out.
Nicole enjoys seeing the positive impact she makes among clients and community members and hopes to continue building our reputation as solution innovators and growing the Geospatial Solutions department.
When not working, you can find Nicole gardening, crafting, or traveling. Some of her most notable experiences include exploring the history of Turkey, hiking in Argentina, skiing in France, and camping throughout the Pacific Northwest. We are excited for what the future holds for Nicole both inside and outside of work!
