She is also known as the author of the book Mastering ArcGIS. Price is dean of graduate education at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
Price was born in 1963 in Portsmouth, Virginia, moved with her family as a child to Palo Alto, California, and graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1981. She majored in earth science at Dartmouth College, earning a bachelor's degree in 1985, with Phi Beta Kappa honors. After working for two years for the United States Geological Survey, she went to Princeton University for graduate study in geosciences. She earned a master's degree there in 1989, and completed her Ph.D. in 1995. Her dissertation, Dating resurfacing on Venus using impact crater densities from GIS-based global mapping, was supervised by John Suppe.
She joined the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 1995, as an assistant professor of geology and geological engineering. She was promoted to associate professor in 2003 and full professor in 2010, chaired the department from 2006 to 2011, and became map curator for the James E. Martin Paleontology Research Laboratory in 2011. She was named dean of graduate education in 2017.
