Snippets of what I'm up to...
(updated August 2021)
Quoted in KQED and All Things Considered stories about changes to atmospheric rivers and the connection to drought.
January 2021: I'm honored to have been selected as a President's Postdoctoral Fellow for faculty diversity at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.
July 2021: I officially started as a Postdoctoral Associate, working with Prof. Heidi Roop! and am looking forward to my time in the Department of Soil, Water, and Climate.

Title: Flavors of Atmospheric Rivers: Moisture or Wind Dominated?
Date: December 2018
Location: American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting - Washington, DC, USA
I had the pleasure of attending, presenting, and co-charing a session at the Graduate Climate Conference in beautiful Pack Forest, WA.
I presented my work on atmospheric river temperature trends and co-chaired the Atmospheric Sciences Session, titled, "Means, Extremes, and In-Betweens".
I am honored to be selected to join the 11th cohort of DARE scholars at Stanford. The DARE (Diversifying Academia, Recruiting Excellence) Doctoral Fellowship Program awards two-year fellowships to advanced doctoral students who want to prepare for academic careers and whose presence will help diversify the professoriate.
Looking forward to learning from my colleagues in the next two years and together diversifying academia in the years to come!
It was a pleasure to present my atmospheric river temperature research at the 2nd IARC and hear about the exciting atmospheric research happening around the globe!
