Introduction

 SHORT BIO

I am an Assistant Research Professor in the Center for Hydrologic Innovations at Arizona State University. My work focuses on improving tree–snow–radiation dynamics at fine scales, advancing tools and visualization efforts through tRIBS, mentoring graduate students, and collaborating on group proposals.

Prior to this role, I was a Research Scientist in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona, where I worked on enhancing UA snowpack data to generate improved 1 km snowpack estimates across the Colorado River Basin (CRB), as well as advancing snowpack monitoring and streamflow forecasting in the CRB.

Earlier in my career, I served as a Research Hydrologist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in Tucson, contributing to projects that promoted the sustainability of national forest lands through the development of science-based tools. I earned my Ph.D. in Hydrology from the University of Arizona, where I was mentored by the late Dr. Thomas Meixner. Before that, I worked as a water resources consultant in the private sector after completing my M.S. in Hydrology at New Mexico Tech in Socorro.
