I am a veteran and first year masters student working with Kristy Tiampo and Mike Willis on a geohazards project in Greenland. Much of my undergraduate work is related to coastal geohazards and resilience methods. After my active military service, I graduated with my undergraduate degree and continued on to NOAA. I completed a 6 month internship at NOAA's CO-OP division and worked on many systems like the acoustic doppler current profile to validate their accuracy in obtaining meteorological and oceanographic data. In the future I hope to intersect my interests in the testing and evaluation of these systems and coastal geohazards.
