PhD Student in Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University

PhD Student in Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University I am currently a PhD student at Colorado State University. My research focus is on projecting future risk from tornadoes and hail storms across eastern Colorado due to changes in both population dynamics and meteorology. I received a Bachelor's degree in Atmospheric Science from Purdue University in 2014, during which time I was a co-author on three publications. I received a Master's degree in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University in 2017, and published two first-author papers, with another co-authored paper currently in review. My passion within the field is to work toward understanding trends in severe weather and improving societal outreach and communication of severe weather risk information, especially to under-represented people groups.
