I am a recent graduate of the University of Virginia where I received an M.S. in Environmental Sciences. My research focused on relationships between tropical cloud characteristics, representations of precipitation and moisture, and intermodel variability of equilibrium climate sensitivity in global climate models. While at UVA, I was also a co-captain of the varsity women's soccer team, a member of the student-athlete sustainability group, and a teaching assistant. Now, I am pursuing a PhD to study climate feedbacks and variability among climate models. My ultimate goal is to combine my interests in teaching, mentorship, and research in the field of climate science.
