About Me:

I received my B.S. (2008) and Ph.D. (2012) from the University at Albany, Albany, New York in atmospheric science and meteorology.  My research was focused on convectively coupled atmospheric  Kelvin waves and the Madden Julian Oscillation and their impact global circulation patterns and Atlantic tropical cyclone activity.  This research is applicable in long range forecasts of Atlantic tropical cyclone activity and United States temperature.  While in graduate school, I was in the field for NASA's HS3 campaign in 2012, and also was an intern for Citadel Investment Group in 2010.

I have accepted a position at Weather Service International as an Operations Scientist. My primary work will consist of Medium Range predictability and development of innovative procedures.
