ABOUT LILA LEATHERMAN
I’m a geospatial data scientist and technical lead with 12+ years of experience applying machine learning and remote sensing to map vegetation, wildfire risk, and forest health. I build scalable ML models and geospatial pipelines and work on national projects like TreeMap and the Landscape Change Monitoring System (LCMS) for the U.S. Forest Service. I’m driven by using data and machine-learning solve high-impact climate challenges.I thrive in collaborative, remote-first teams and am a skilled communicator who excels in bridging the gap between engineering, science, and impact; I\'m uniquely fluent in communicating complex technical concepts in accessible ways. I\'m most satisfied when I\'m using cutting-edge data tools to advance environmental and social well-being. Outside work, I\'m a passionate outdoorsperson, enthusiastic home cook, amateur mixologist, line dancer, scifi nerd, and devoted cat caregiver. I\'ll happily talk about the best local trails and crags, my current favorite recipe, feminist utopian science fiction, and my three cats.
