I am a second-year master’s student in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, advised by Drs. Stephen Nesbitt and Robert Trapp. I earned my bachelor’s in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma, with minors in electrical engineering and mathematics. As an undergraduate, I completed two internships with the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies. Collaborating with the National Severe Storms Laboratory, I studied how to detect and predict large hail using radar data. I then worked with the Center for Autonomous Sensing and Sampling and analyzed wind data through LiDAR and weather balloon soundings to better predict safe flight patterns for UAVs.
