I have a master's degree in biological oceanography in a multidisciplinary program centered around marine, earth, and atmospheric processes and their interconnection. I also have a bachelor's degree in environmental studies. Along with these credentials, I've completed a semester-long project in weather forecasting with a local news station. I have also spent the past 15 years teaching and designing courses in environmental science to students of all ages in a variety of different settings. These settings range from outdoor education programs, museums, and formal classrooms. I even experienced multiple hurricanes as a young child and their effects growing up along the eastern shore of the United States.
