    I’m a radar meteorologist, so I spend a lot of my time collecting and analyzing weather radar data.  I’m particularly interested in understanding the air circulation patterns and microphysical properties of precipitating clouds.  I enjoy field work and the opportunity to visit new places and study clouds in different environments.  
 
    Other interests: geology and outreach education associated with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network.  When not at work, I try and spend as much time as possible enjoying the surrounding mountain scenery.
