I am an Atmospheric Sciences PhD student and National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellow at the University of Washington.

My current research at UW focuses on climate dynamics and data assimilation. How much does the Earth warm from rising greenhouse gas concentrations, and how do different spatial patterns of warming lead to different changes in the global energy budget? How can we use data from Earth's past (paleoclimates and the industrial era) to constrain estimates of radiative feedbacks and climate sensitivity? How much do we know about natural variability in Earth's climate? I am advised by Professors Armour, Bitz, and Hakim.

I am originally from Granville, a small town in rural Ohio. Before graduate school at UW, I studied at Harvard (B.A. in Statistics) then worked in New York City as an investment banking analyst and private equity associate.
