Please briefly describe your current job

Weekend Morning Meteorologist. I forecast for Southeast Florida and communicate that forecast on-air, on our website, and on social media. I also attend events where I represent the station and present information to the public via these community events.

What is your favorite part of your current position

I love being able to talk about my favorite subject for work!

How did your EAS education prepare you for your current job?

I love that EAS provided me with the the highest quality upper-level technical meteorological information. The program really emphasized not only learning that information and very effectively reinforcing it but it also emphasized learning to communicate that information in a way that makes sense to the general public.

My job is communicating the forecast and EAS taught me how to best forecast with the best technical knowledge out there!

Immediately upon graduation I went to the University of Miami (kept it in the ACC) for my masters in Broadcast Meteorology. I am currently working towards my AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorology Seal.

What do you wish you had known as an EAS undergraduate in order to land the job of your dreams?

Don't listen if recruiters tell you that you can't get a job in a market of "X" size!
