| Biosketch: | I was born and raised in Springfield, VA, a suburb of Washington D.C. I have always had an interest in the weather, and it was during an internship at my local NWS forecast office that realized I wanted to pursue meteorology academically. Currently I am studying the interaction of cloud microphysics and extratropical storm dynamics with a focus on the warm front. Outside of research, I enjoy hiking and skiing with my husband Matt, as well as cooking and most crafts involving yarn, thread, or fabric. |
