Courtland Ramsay, Urban Ecologist and Planner

As a Spring 2025 graduate in Urban Ecology and Planning from the University of Utah, I’m excited to take the next step in my career by embracing new challenges and continuing to grow personally and professionally. My academic background—shaped by coursework in engineering systems, communication, and design—has prepared me to work effectively across disciplines. I've developed technical skills in GIS, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office, while also gaining valuable organizational and communication experience working in roles such as front office staff, social media manager, and head of maintenance at a residential care facility.

Outside the classroom, diverse experiences have shaped my work ethic and adaptability. From problem-solving as a farmhand to leading teams as a missionary in Brazil, I’ve learned how to collaborate, communicate clearly, and thrive in demanding environments. Whether managing COVID-19 safety efforts or assisting in architectural projects, I bring a commitment to innovation, responsibility, and continuous learning to every opportunity. I look forward to applying these skills in a professional setting to make a positive impact.
