I am currently a graduate student at the University at Albany in the Department of Atmospheric Science. I am under the advisement of Dr. Lance Bosart with whom I am doing my research. My research pertains to Southwestern United States convective climatology along with the impacts of Upper-Level Disturbances on convective outbreaks. I am also a Teaching Assistant for ATM 211 for the Spring 09’ semester and previously the TA for ATM 210 for the Fall of 08’.
