IntroductionÌý

I graduated with my PhD Spring 2022. I am interested in both academia and non-academia.Ìý

My research focus is snow hydrology, using empirical datasets, modeling and GIS skills to evaluate runoff sensitivities to the timing of rain, snow and snowmelt. I am interested in continuing in academia (post-doc or faculty position) but also working in a federal lab (NOAA, NASA, USGS).
