Hello! I am a climate researcher working with the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E) and the California-Nevada Climate Applications Program (CNAP). I help produce data products that people and agencies across the western United States rely on for short-term decision making (e.g., using atmospheric river forecasts to inform reservoir operations) and long-term research studies (e.g., helping communities in the region adapt to a climate dominated by more extreme storms and drought over the upcoming decades). I am dedicated to this field because I want to find ways to help people and communities build a more climate-resilient future.

 

Please see my Projects page for a few examples of my recent work.
