When I was young anytime I got upset about something, my grandpa would take me outside to look at the clouds so that I would calm down. We would lie there and try to make shapes out of them, and it was always able to calm me down. He would also take me out into the garage to watch storms when they came, and I remember always thinking they were so interesting. When I got to be a little older in my teenage years, I remember always watching those storm chasing shows on the weather channel. Those shows are what got me into the weather. I would always dream about being able to go on storm chases and see tornadoes. Once I graduated high school and had to think about what I wanted to do for a career I knew without much thought that I wanted to do something involving the weather. I will be graduating with my B.S in Atmospheric Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in May 2020. After graduation I hope to either continue on to get my Master's degree or pursue a career in a meteorological position. My interests outside of the weather include music, sports, and spending time with good friends.
