Research Assistant
Project
Cold Air Outbreaks
Responsibilities
Analysis of subseasonal and synoptic precursor indicators of major cold-air outbreaks in the central and eastern United States
I enjoyed working for VIAM because the research I did provided me with real world experience. It was my first taste of what I could do with my meteorology degree when I received it and helped shaped my interest in doing research for future projects including my senior thesis. My experiences with VIAM eventually propelled me into other new things over the last few years both at LSC (including serving as President of the local AMS chapter) and beyond when I interned at NWS Burlington in the summer of 2007 and Citadel Investment Group in Chicago during the summer of 2008."
