PROFILE:
I have a wide range of interest in Earth Science, with my background primarily focused on meteorology. My research focus in the past has been on air quality and I’ve conducted field studies in NYC, Whiteface Mountain NY, and Mexico City. These projects focused on oxidation processes in the atmosphere, primarily measuring HOx radicals. My main interest within meteorology is synoptic systems and processes as well as forecasting, both long and short term.

Recently, I’ve been devoting all of my time to teaching and expanding my capabilities within Earth Science. I’ve been teaching physical geography for 2 years and have taken great interest in this part of the field. In addition to this, I teach a synoptic meteorology course within our fast growing meteorology program.

Currently, I am developing an applied forecasting course for future semesters, where the students will partake in a variety of short-range and long-range forecasts for both point and regional prediction zones.
