I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, where my work focuses on tropical cyclone risk and climate variability. I use observational data, large climate-model ensembles, and the Columbia HAZard model (CHAZ) to study extreme wind, rainfall, and storm-surge hazards, return periods, and uncertainty in local and global risk assessments.

I received my PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder, where I was advised by Kris Karnauskas. My doctoral research focused on air-sea interactions and low-frequency climate variability in the North Atlantic, using a combination of observations and atmospheric general circulation models. Prior to that, I earned a B.S. in Meteorology and Applied Mathematics from the University of Miami, where I conducted research with Amy Clement.
