I am an Associate Scientist in the Weather Risk Analysis and Decision-making (WRAD) research group at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. I received my Master's degree in Communication from the University of Kentucky in 2019, and my B.S. in meteorology at The Pennsylvania State University in 2017. 

My research focuses on how authoritative sources of weather information, such as the National Weather Service and broadcast meteorologists, use and communicate risk information during evolving weather disasters. I study the content of the information that these sources use and share, as well as how this information diffuses through social networks on platforms like social media. I am especially interested in improving risk visualizations and communication of probabilistic information in order to better inform and prepare members of the public for the range of possibilities associated with uncertain weather events.
