What I Do

Lead Meteorologist

How I Got To The Weather Company

I grew up in southern New England where I became infatuated with winter storms and why rain would often come instead of snow. I became interested in understanding hurricanes and fondly remember watching The Weather Channel for hours to learn as much about the weather as possible.

After graduating with a degree in atmospheric science, I worked in Andover, Massachusetts, in the graphics and media department creating graphics, scripts, voice-overs and on-camera segments for various clients. In 2009, I decided to move down to Georgia to become a weather producer and since 2014, I have been a part of the digital team where I write engaging articles and create interesting graphics.

What I Love About Working For The Weather Company

I love the people and learning something new all the time. My role has changed numerous times over the years and I love that I can work in a field I find fascinating.

Favorite Weather Areas

Winter storms (especially in the Northeast) and hurricanes

Core Weather Memory

I remember several intense snowstorms as a kid where the evergreen trees and bushes would sag. I would go outside to shovel and the wind would bite your face. Once the storm was over though, the fun of making snowmen and sledding would begin!
