About Violet Forster
Hello! I’m Violet Forster, a GIS Specialist at Carlton County with a passion for sustainability and using data to make a meaningful impact. I love GIS because it lets me focus on two of my favorite things: supporting my community and caring for the environment. In my role, I turn data into actionable insights that guide decisions and create lasting benefits for both people and the planet. What excites me most is how GIS brings information to life, transforming spreadsheets and reports into interactive stories that inspire action and drive change.When I’m away from my computer, you’ll most likely find me exploring my favorite place, Duluth’s Lake Superior shoreline, hiking or skiing trails with friends and family, and soaking up everything the outdoors has to offer.
