I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany, SUNY, with an expected graduation date of Summer 2026. I received my MS in Atmospheric Science from the University at Albany, SUNY in December 2022 and my BS in Meteorology from Iowa State University in May 2020. More details about me can be found on the about me and CV pages of my website.
My research interests broadly lie in the predictability of tropical cyclone hazards, midlatitude cyclones, and extreme precipitation. For more details, please view the research page of my website.
I am interested in career opportunities in a variety of fields, including applied meteorology and climatology and research-to-operations (particular topics include extreme precipitation, midlatitude cyclones, and tropical cyclone hazards).
