I am a student at Colorado State University pursuing my M.S. in Atmospheric Science. I work in the Barnes and Hurrell Groups looking at compound extremes on a decadal timescale.

Originally from a small town just south of Cleveland, OH, I grew up watching thunderstorms roll through the area, which began my initial curiosity in how the weather operated. In high school, I began to learn about climate variability which sparked my interest in larger-scale climate drivers and prediction. 

With my main goal of going to graduate school for atmospheric science, I completed my Bachelors Degree in Applied Physics with a concentration in Environmental Engineering and minors in Mathematics and Environmental and Sustainability Studies to obtain a wider background before narrowing in on atmospheric science. I completed my degree at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore where I also played volleyball (NCAA Div. 1).

When I am not working, you can catch me playing volleyball, dabbling in trail running, or reading.
