ATMOSPHERIC SCIENTIST
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Mesoscale & Microscale Meteorology Laboratory [NCAR/MMM] in Boulder, Colorado.
My research interests lie primarily within the realm of mesoscale meteorology, severe convective storms, atmospheric dynamics,
& numerical weather prediction. I am particularly interested in understanding the multiscale process interactions &
convection-environment feedbacks that occur during
high-impact severe weather events. Additionally, I am
interested in better understanding the dynamical pathways
for upscale error growth in model forecasts & how forecast
errors are influenced by the representation of moist processes.
I have considerable experience working with numerical weather prediction models, including the Model for Prediction Across
Scales [MPAS], Weather Research and Forecasting [WRF]
model, and Cloud Model 1 [CM1]. Additionally, I have participated
in several field campaigns and have a love for field work!
I obtained my Ph.D. in Fall 2021 from the School of Meteorology
at the University of Oklahoma. Throughout my doctoral program,
I was employed as a Graduate Research Assistant at the former Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies [OU/CIMMS] in affiliation with the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma.
I received my M.S. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma
in 2017 & my B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014.
