I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio and am currently a doctoral student in meteorology at the University of Oklahoma. I work with the CASA radar project and assimilate simulated CASA data into the ARPS model using an ensemble Kalman square-root filter. I received my M.S. degree from OU in 2003 and studied the environment and statistics of tornadoes from quasi-linear convective systems. I studied physics and atmospheric science at The Ohio State University, where I received my B.S. degree in 2000. Outside of school/research work, I like to spend time with my best friend, Chris. I also particularly enjoy doing arts and crafts projects, many of which involve rubber stamping and other paper crafts, but I enjoy all sorts of new challenges such as polymer clay and crocheting. I enjoy playing classical piano, biking, racquetball, tennis, walking, reading, photography, camping, hiking, and traveling to new places.
