Community-oriented activities

Coodinator of student forecast team (from UW AMS Student Chapter) for OAR Northwest

A team of four rowers, OAR Northwest, propelled themselves, unsupported, around Vancouver Island (April-May 2012) and most of the way across the Atlantic, from Senegal to just outside of the Bermuda Triangle, (early 2013). Their mission is to bring knowledge of science and the environment to the public, especially students, by inspiring them with adventurous feats. I led a team of students who provided weather updates for the boat and for the weather component of their education and outreach. (See my page of weather links for the Africa to the Americas expedition and the Salish Sea Expedition).

In September 2014, I had the pleasure of rowing with OAR Northwest for the portion of their journey down the length of the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to La Crosse, WI, visiting an elementary school (covered by the La Crosse Tribune) and posting on social media about the adventure to reach students.

Leadership team, 500 Women Scientists

2016-2017 leadership team member, local chapter global coordinator
Led initiative on Inclusive Scientific Meetings

Textbook reviewer

I provided substantial feedback on the second edition of Modern Marine Weather, a textbook developed by the Starpath School of Navigation that is widely used by mariners.

UW Atmos Outreach contributor

I've developed a severe weather presentation, visited schools and fairs, and given presentations to visiting students.
