Biography

I am a Senior Meteorology student from Huber Heights, Ohio. Along with pursuing my degree in meteorology, I have minors in coaching education and journalism. I am currently interning with WHIO-TV (CBS-Affiliate) in Dayton, Ohio for the 2019 summer under the chief meteorologist. In the Athens area, I work with WOUB Public Media during the school year where I have been the weather anchor for the past 4 years. I am an active member of both OUCAMS (Former President) and Delta Tau Delta Fraternity at Ohio University. I also work for the Physics department, help with a course for first year students, and I am a referee for Campus Recreation. I have also been heavily involved in the community with outreach programs in meteorology across the area. In my free time, I like to hang out with friends, work in the garden, or go to Stroud’s run and hike.
