At the National Data Buoy Center in Mississippi, I analyze incoming meteorological/oceanographic data collected by buoys stationed around the world's oceans.

At the National Data Buoy Center in Mississippi, I analyze incoming meteorological/oceanographic data collected by buoys stationed around the world's oceans.

I served as a part-time broadcast meteorologist for WILL - AM/FM/TV, the public broadcasting station run by the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign

I administered an on-line introductory course in meteorology for Prairie State College in Chicago Heights, IL

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

I worked under Dr. Adam Davis of the UIUC Crop Sciences Dept., assisting with an on-site farm experiment by keeping a running log of the soil state and measuring the growth rate of various weeds.

I graded and recorded homework for approximately 150 students per semester for an introductory course on severe and hazardous weather. I also proctored exams and held office hours for students requiring additional help with the course material
