Summary
I am an Atmospheric Sciences undergraduate at the University of North Dakota with a strong interest in alpine and mountain meteorology. My coursework in calculus, differential equations, physics, and synoptic meteorology has shaped how I approach atmospheric problems through a quantitative and physical lens. As an NCAA Division I student-athlete in cross country and track, I have over time developed strong time-management skills and resilience in demanding environments. I am seeking undergraduate research experience where I can contribute to and learn from research on mountain weather and extreme atmospheric processes.
