Curious and pursing excellence, I am a Senior at UAH set to graduate on May 4, 2026. I have a major in Atmospheric and Earth Science with a Concentration in Atmospheric Science, and a double minor in Mathematics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I have been engaged in Atmospheric Science research with the CASPR Lab at UAH, orally presenting my findings at the 2025 AMS Annual Meeting, and presenting a poster and another oral presentation at the 2026 AMS Annual Meeting. Being a Resident Assistant for three years has strongly developed my interpersonal communication and crisis response skills. All these commitments, in addition to extracurricular involvement such as leading a Community Group for my church and holding an officer position while giving balloon trainings in UPSTORM (UAH’s meteorology research club), have also expanded my time management skills and forced me to effectively prioritize and work efficiently.
GIS Portfolio (AES 414)
The following six layouts and this ArcGIS StoryMap (If you can only look at one of them, please click that link!) were created by me in the class AES 414, Geospatial Applications. Topics and general workflow were generally decided beforehand, but allowed for flexibility and personal initiative. For example, on my Wind Farm Suitability Map, I was able to choose between exploring wind energy and solar energy, decide the state to study, and include at least two datasets to help create a suitability map — I chose wind energy for its closer relationship to atmospheric science, Colorado for its diverse geography, and four relevant datasets (with polygons, lines, and raster types) to complete the assignment. Creating these maps involved learning how to use a wide variety of tools in ArcGIS Pro, including building my own Python functions to work with raster data.
