In April, I left my job as a Meteorologist at the National Weather Service (NWS) office in New Braunfels, TX serving south-central TX including the Austin and San Antonio metro areas. Previouly, I held the same position at the NWS office in Marquette, MI. Prior to entering federal service, I worked as a Satellite Climate Data Analyst at Remote Sensing Systems, where I managed our support datasets, monitored operational processing of data from a number of satellites, and conducted research. I was also in charge of user experience, by keeping our website up to date, responding to support messages, and building a social media presence for the company. After graduating from UWM in May 2012 with a B.S. in Atmospheric Science, I took a year off to work an additional year as a Staff Meteorologist with Innovative Weather. I then moved to College Station, TX, where I completed an M.S. in Atmospheric Science under the direction of Dr. Courtney Schumacher.
