Education

I am a graduate of The Ohio State University, Class of 2012. During my time at Ohio State, I was involved in the Meteorology Club and served as Secretary during the 2011-2012 academic year. This involved helping plan the annual Severe Weather Symposium as well as taking meeting minutes and assisting other executive board members. While living near campus, I worked at the Thompson Library as a Collections Assistant for three years. I was primarily responsible for maintaining the library’s “GEC Textbook Project.” This program was designed to provide short term loans on textbook materials for students so that they could avoid buying their own copy, if possible. I managed the budget for the project, ordered books according to demand, kept usage statistics and tracked and helped recover missing items.

The Ohio State University

Bachelor of Science in Geography - Atmospheric Science

2008 - 2012
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in geography with an atmospheric science specialization from Ohio State in June 2012. Additionally, I took the necessary coursework to complete a communications minor with a media production and analysis specialization. This degree required two academic years of calculus, wrapping up with ordinary differential equations. I have completed courses in laboratory chemistry and physics as prerequisites for atmospheric science.

In the atmospheric science program, I had one full academic year of atmospheric thermodynamics and dynamic meteorology coursework. Then, I took classes in microclimate studies, climatology, and severe storm forecasting.

In the communications department, I took courses in television practicum and production, analytics and ratings, and the history of human communication.
