GIS Analyst

Jenna Mayfield joined ONE Environmental Group in August 2025, bringing with her a rare blend of technical skill, creative perspective and genuine enthusiasm for geospatial problem-solving. Today, she serves as a GIS Analyst based out of ONE’s Charlotte office, applying her deep knowledge of mapping, data visualization and environmental science to support clients and teams across the company.

Raised in Mooresville, North Carolina — a place she still calls home — Jenna’s path into environmental GIS work began at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. There, she earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Environmental Science and Information Science & Technology, along with a minor in Geographic Information Systems. She built a strong foundation in tools like ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Python and remote sensing workflows, complementing her hands-on field experience with drone mapping, LiDAR and machine learning applications.

Before joining ONE, Jenna gained experience through several research-driven, conservation-focused positions. She supported The Nature Conservancy by using drone and camera imagery to assess pollinator habitats at solar facilities. She contributed to coastal and flood resiliency research for the North Carolina Collaboratory — work that helped shape policy papers shared with state leaders. And in the Hoi Polloi Lab at UNC, she participated in plant research that combined laboratory precision with advanced image segmentation techniques.

At ONE, Jenna has found the ideal environment to blend her analytical skills with her creative instincts. She enjoys the freedom to design customized data visualizations, explore complex spatial questions and “put her own spin” on the maps and tools she creates. Her work in ArcGIS Pro, along with her development of automation tools and spatial workflows, helps internal teams make faster, clearer, more informed decisions.

Just as meaningful to her is the culture of collaboration she’s found at ONE. “I really enjoy working with the ONE team,” she says. “It’s a place where you’re trusted to innovate and supported every step of the way.”

Outside of work, Jenna enjoys hiking North Carolina’s trails, gaming, and diving into different creative crafts. Her strong technical background, coupled with her curiosity and collaborative spirit, makes her a valued member of the ONE team.
