April 2006

I grew up in a small town near the city of Birmingham, England, where I met my husband. I graduated from the University of Reading (near London) in June 2001 receiving a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology with first class honours . In January 2002, I moved to Norman Oklahoma to attend graduate school at University of Oklahoma in the school of Meteorology. I graduated with a Masters degree in Professional Meteorology with a secondary area of study in Hydrology, January 2004. Throughout graduate school I worked as a Research Assistant at the National Severe Storms Lab for the Hydro-Meteorology research team (WISH), where my focus was on radar quality control and radar derived QPE. Following graduation I took a full time position as a Research Associate for the WISH research group. In November 2005 I began work at Weather Decision Technologies (WDT) as their Hydro-Meteorologist where I continue to work with radar data and the development of QPE/QPF for flood forecasting and commercial use. In my spare time I enjoy running both competitively and just for fun. I love spending time with friends and family that visit from England and keep busy as the president of my residents association.
