NGA is proud to call St. Louis home and solidify its position as a global hub of geospatial innovation. 🌎
Marlie, an employee here at , outlines her career path:
🏫 Working on an NGA project with her University of Missouri-St. Louis professor
💼 Internship at NGA
🏢 Now, a career as a geodetic earth scientist at NGA
All in STL, Marlie didn't think this was possible, "I assumed I’d have to leave town to work for NASA or a national laboratory,” Marlie says. “It turns out this is a really great location to start your career in geospatial. It’s a super supportive community. Everyone wants to work together to grow it, and there’s so much cutting-edge technology and research going on that it’s drawing people here. People are talking about it.”
