  • Sep 2018 - Dec 2018

  As a student volunteer at the NWS Nashville, I completed a Nashville CWA Severe Weather Climatology Project. The goal of this project was to determine the hours and months when severe weather occurs the most often in the Nashville CWA as well as creating a map showing all recorded tornadoes in the Nashville CWA. These results were then converted into digital posters for public display at the NWS Nashville office. I also assisted NWS Nashville staff in day-to-day operations through publishing TAF’s, providing Weekly Weather Briefings to essential statewide partners for decision support services (DSS), publishing Situation Reports, and also shadowing meteorologists conducting 0Z balloon launches.

• Student Volunteer

  As a Student Volunteer at NWS Louisville, I completed the Wind Advisory Impacts Catalog Project. The goal of this project was to analyze the issuances of Wind Advisory products at NWS Louisville and how local partners (Emergency management, school districts, public event venues, etc.) use Wind Advisories to take safety precautions during high wind events. I also assisted forecasters on staff in disseminating social media messages, producing Local Storm Reports (LSR's), contacting Emergency Managers and 911 Dispatch Centers, and collecting storm survey data during and following the July 20th, 2018 severe weather outbreak.
