Atmospheric Scientist/Meteorologist experienced in atmospheric data assimilation systems (DAS), tropical meteorology, climate interpretation and weather forecasting, with ten years of experience. Joined NASA Goddard through UMBC/GEST in June 2005 and has done work in meteorological processes, interactions between the physical and chemical aspects of the climate system, forecasting techniques, numerical model analysis, and hurricane reaserch since. PMP Certified with Project Management experience. Currently working as a Group Manager for the NASA Goddard HBS contract and for NASA GMAO on running global model simulations, diagnostic analyses of model output, and the preparation of graphical and written summaries of results.
