Front page in the OU newspaper, 2007.
I am studying meteorology at Oklahoma and will be finishing up my Masters of Science this spring. Then my sights will be focused on the PhD. My current focus is on assessing the severe weather environment of current and future climates. This is a fancy way of saying I'm studying how global warming (man-made or natural) will affect Severe Thunderstorms and Tornadoes.
I am also Director of Operations for a student led forecasting group here at the University of Oklahoma. You can check out our website here[1]. The picture above is from a story on this forecasting group written by the OU student paper.
