Rachel is a licensed Professional Surveyor in Indiana and two adjoining states. She is certified as a GISP (Geographic Information Systems Professional) and she holds a Bachelor of Science in Surveying and Mapping Science from East Tennessee State University. She has over 17 years of experience in public and private sector land surveying and GIS development.

Before starting Oser Surveying & Mapping, Rachel was the Professional Surveyor for Monroe County, where her primary focus was the implementation of an ambitious section corner perpetuation program. She also directed historical document preservation efforts, counseled the public and other government offices on surveying issues, and reviewed every subdivision plat submitted to the Monroe County Planning Department.

Prior to her position with Monroe County, Rachel spent nearly 10 years working for a large Bloomington based surveying and engineering firm. She focused on ALTA surveys, residential subdivisions, route surveys, topographic design surveys, and the creation of Geographic Information Systems for statewide utilities and government agencies.

Rachel is an active member of the Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors and she serves on the Monroe County Surveyor Review Board. She spearheaded a six-county historical survey records acquisition project, and she created a statewide digital repository for original PLSS survey records as well as a user-friendly interactive map to make those records freely available to surveyors, historians, ecologists, and the general public.
