Happy !
We interviewed GIS Coordinator Paula Soto for this Saturday's spotlight, and here's what she had to say!

How long have you worked for the City?

I've been with the City of Shafter for about five months now! I started on June 1, 2026.

Where are you from?

I'm originally from Irvine, California, with roots in Los Angeles. I've called Kern County home since 2020.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I love spending time with my son, going to yoga classes, and catching up with my girlfriends over brunch!

What is your favorite part of your job?

One of my favorite things about GIS is learning how different City departments operate and finding creative ways to visualize their workflows and data. Making cool maps along the way is just a bonus!

What does your daily routine look like?

I usually start my day around 8 a.m. by catching up on emails and returning phone calls. From there, I tackle smaller projects, like adding new addresses to our GIS database, updating our online maps, or checking in with our Fiber team to see if they need support.
I typically spend the rest of my day on larger projects, whether that's developing a new online mapping application for the Planning Department or exploring new Esri tools that could benefit Public Works.
No two days are exactly alike, and that's one of the things I enjoy most about GIS. There's always something new to learn, a problem to solve, or a creative way to help another department!

Is there any other information you'd like to share about yourself?

I like to end each day by naming three things I'm grateful for, no matter how big, small, or silly they might be.
So, to wrap up this spotlight, here are my three for today:
Having a job that lets me use both the creative and analytical sides of my brain.
Getting to explore new GIS technologies while doing work that supports our community.
Having great coworkers who share my appreciation for peanut M&Ms and Coke Zero!

Thank you, Paula, for all that you do for our City!
