About Me

I am currently a Masters Student at the University of Oklahoma, School of Meteorology. I work under Dr. David Parsons and Dr. Steven Cavallo in the Antarctic and Arctic Atmospheric Research Group (AAARG). My Masters research involves using an innovative dataset of dropsonde profiles from the Concordiasi field program to evaluate the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS).

I obtained my undergraduate MMet degree in Meteorology from the University of Reading in July 2012. There my thesis focused on the development of a simple model for large scale circulation in the tropics.

On this webpage you can also find more information about my current and past research, current weather with a focus on the contiguous United States and my photography.
