Hey there! I’m a PhD candidate at the Program in Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences at Princeton University and a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow. My research interests are tropical cyclones, numerical weather prediction, and climate model diagnostics. Away from technical work, I help run Caribbeans for Climate, a nonprofit organization aimed at creating a network of Caribbean climate stakeholders.
Previously, I was at Vanderbilt University researching the use of computational methods in biomedical applications and a NOAA-CESSRST Graduate Fellow at The City College of New York researching the urban boundary layer.
