===Daniela (Dani) Waltersdorfer Jimenez ===
Daniela Waltersdorfer, also known as Dani is from Lima, Peru, and also spent part of her childhood in Bogota, Colombia, and in a suburb of Miami in the U.S. After other moves and adventures, she now resides in Washington, D.C. , U.S. As a professional, she works in the Transportation Industry, where she helps many transportation agencies with their transit, logistics, supply-chain, and asset management needs in the form of digital geospatial solutions. She’s a big advocate for proper accessibility and mobility for people and goods. She’s been a leader of Maptime Boston and Maptime Miami, where (along with her awesome co-leads) provided GIS and mapping education to the local communities, led mapathons, and hosted a space for everything map-related in our urban areas.
Her first edit on OSM was for a HOTOSM task in Nepal. This is when she learned about the OSM project and community. Dani was fascinated by the involvement and logistics of the OSM community; there were people from all over the world, people who will probably never meet in person, who are also working on this task to help the people in Nepal and the humanitarian organizations sending relief. “I remember telling my grandfather about OSM and sharing this amazing idea of a community working together to complete the map. He was a pilot in the Peruvian Air Force who spent a lot of time surveying and mapping the Amazon Region in Peru, so he certainly understood my fascination”.
Dani is a volunteer-mapper and is passionate about growing the OSM communities. Feel free to contact her whenever! She is fluent in English and Spanish.
Loves: Family, friends, dogs, beaches, long walks, Pilates, trains.
Hates: Snails, smog, pollen, misogyny.
