She is also a licensed Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP). She has over 10 years of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geospatial analysis, oceanographic data collection experience in nonprofit sector, academia and the federal government.
From 2010 to 2013, Ms. Pierce awarded the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Program Scholarship, a scholarship intended to support undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines established by the United States Department of Defense (DoD).
From 2014 to 2016, Eboné served as a research graduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi. The focuses of her studies were physical oceanography and bathymetry. She also studied abroad in Jamaica as a graduate student in field marine biology, geospatial interpretation and oceanographic analysis.
In 2013, she joined the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), Ocean Projects Department (N9) as an oceanographic subject matter expert, she has worn multiple hats:
1. Senior NAVOCEANO Representative (SNR)
2. Ocean Data in Submarine Transit Areas (ODISTA) Project Lead,
3. REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Data Manager and Analyst
4. Lead Bathymetric Analyst, geographic information systems (GIS), and geospatial expert in ocean data collection.
NAVOCEANO, comprised of approximately 700 military, civilian, and contractor personnel, uses a variety of platforms including ships, aircraft, satellite sensors, buoys, and unmanned underwater vehicles to collect oceanographic and hydrographic data from the world's oceans.

Jasmin J. Miller Clark, MHA, MSN, RNC-OB
Jasmin was born in Monroe, North Carolina and moved with her family to Tallahassee, Florida at age 7 and spent many for of her formative years there. Though Jasmin moved to Maryland, where she completed high school in three years; she returned back to Tallahassee to attend Florida A&M for her undergraduate studies. Jasmin became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) in spring 2007 and graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration in May 2007.
With hopes of one day running a hospital, Jasmin realized that she couldn’t lead where she had never been, and embarked on a journey to gain the direct-care experience. Jasmin completed her nursing degree in December 2011 and in September 2017 earned two Masters Degrees: a Master of Science in Nursing and a Master of Health Care Administration. All while spending the last 5 years as a Labor and Delivery Travel Nurse and has called Seattle, Houston, Monterey and San Jose, CA, and Atlanta home. Jasmin currently works as a Labor and Delivery assistant nurse manager for Kaiser Permanent in San Leandro, CA.
I believe technology can enhance community involvement, so far as participation and communication. Social media is a large way in which we as whole communicate now which is still a fairly new technology. On what it all can do and who it all can reach, we have still yet to explore all the great things and services it can do for the community. One fun fact about Jasmin is she loves to travel all over the world see new cites and try new things.

My name is Brandon Harrell. I work at Georgia-Pacific in Crossett, AR where I am the Asset Availability Leader for the Converting operation. I am originally from Baton Rouge, LA, but I currently reside in Bastrop, LA where I serve as an Associate Pastor at New Life Temple. I received my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering from Louisiana Tech University and I received my Master's degree in Biblical Counseling from Luther Rice College and Seminary.
Ever since I was younger, I have participated in community enhancement activities and have always had a heart to help those that are less fortunate and in need of help. I am an advocate for helping those in my community and I feel that Geospatial Minds Foundation will help close the gaps in the community in regards to technology.
I am married to my beautiful wife, Briana, and I enjoy sports, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family.
