Professional Interests:

As a meteorologist, I have been fascinated by the weather from a young age. I studied air quality meteorology and climate dynamics as an undergraduate, conducting research on the low-frequency variability of global jet streams using idealized climate models. As a graduate student, my interests have evolved into the field of aerosol-cloud-climate interactions. As a PhD student, I studied the effect of aerosols on clouds and precipitation over South America, using satellite remote sensing and 3-D atmospheric GCMs with physical representations of aerosol microphysical and radiative effects. By using these multiple tools together, physical aerosol effects on clouds can be better isolated from satellite retrieval artifacts or meteorological co-variation.

After graduation, I joined NOAA as a Presidential Management Fellow with the goal of applying my knowledge to affect science policy. I currently work for NOAA IOOS in the Operations Division, and will be beginning a detail in March 2013 in the Office of Management and Budget as a NOAA Program Examiner. My current research continues to focus on aerosol-cloud interactions using ground-based remote sensing in addition to space-based remote sensing. I have also recently become interested in analyzing trends in social media topics dealing with weather and climate.
