I am a Ph.D. candidate at Boston University in the Barnes group, where I work on problems pertaining to climate variability, prediction, and the subsequent impacts. I apply data science/machine learning methods to questions concerning compound extreme event drivers as well as mosquito suitability. 

Prior to moving to BU with the Barnes group, I completed my M.S. in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University with the Barnes and Hurrell groups studying compound extremes. 

Originally from a small town in northeast Ohio, in high school I competed in student congressional debate where I dove into topics focused on the environment and climate. This sparked my interest in climate variability and prediction. 

I completed my Bachelor's 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).
