Lisa Merry

Large databases and complicated Excel spreadsheets make me happy. If you have a spreadsheet that needs fixing or a pivot table that needs to be created, I’m your person. I’m passionate about finding solutions to complex problems with the use of data manipulation and GIS. At Ascent, I manage our GIS operations and have over 15 years of professional experience. I support all practice groups with their GIS and database needs. I’m also responsible for coordinating all of the firm’s GIS projects, installing and configuring all GIS-related software, and building and maintaining the GIS system.

Before joining Ascent, I worked for the US Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, where I handled data management for wildlife habitat and occurrence data on National Forest Lands throughout the region.

Outside of work, I can be found wrangling two small boys and going on family adventures. When I get time to myself, I enjoy baking and decorating intricate sugar cookies.
