Bio
I grew up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe which fostered a deep connection to the environment and extreme weather. I left the mountains to pursue an education that would provide me with a profound understanding of the interconnections between Humans and the environment. In my undergraduate career, I stumbled upon the Atmospheric River research field and was given the opportunity to participate in a research project. The Atmospheric River field provided me with a subject that was in parallel with my passions and gave me a means to explain the hydroclimate I depended on while growing up.
Through my education and research, I push to find novel methods to educate people on the subjects of weather, water availability, and anthropogenic impacts on future hydroclimates. All while developing in and contributing to these same disciplines.
