Objective

I am looking for a job in Broadcast Meteorology. I have completed a class in Mass Media Broadcasting, where I created and presented my own weather segment weekly. I was also a backpack journalist for this class. I have completed a weather briefing class, where it was required for us to brief and produce a web product almost every day. I have done two Atmospheric research projects that required field research. Topics included: Analysis of Seas Breeze Fronts, The Effects of Wind Farms on Soil Moisture which received 3rd place for poster at the annual AMS student conference.
