Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of North Dakota, effective August 2024. I did my undergraduate and graduate studies in Meteorology at Florida State University, then worked as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Penn State University.

​

My research broadly covers tropical weather and climate, with an emphasis on hurricanes - how they form, how they strengthen, and how they're simulated in climate models. I particularly enjoy teaching and interacting with students and general audiences, so I'm thrilled to now be in a position where I can do it all.
