I am a climate scientist who is passionate about leveraging my expertise in climate and weather data science to better understand the risk of future precipitation extremes to our society.
Currently, I am a Research Scientist at CU Boulder's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) embedded as a university affiliate within the precipitation extremes team at NOAA's Physical Sciences Laboratory. In this role, I am leading NOAA's effort to modernize estimates of probable maximum precipitation through kilometer-scale computational climate modeling.
I have expertise in a variety of climate and weather data, such as global climate modeling (e.g., CESM), regional downscaling (e.g., WRF), reanalysis data (e.g., ERA5), and historical observations (e.g., AORC precipitation). I am a data-driven, creative thinker and have a demonstrated ability to quickly learn new skills.
I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2021 and worked as a Postdoctal Researcher at Washington University in St. Louis from 2021-2024.
