Teaching

I particularly enjoy teaching and interacting with students about research, career opportunities, and anything in between. I've been able to do some of both as a graduate student and postdoc, and I'm excited to do much more of this at UND!

UPCOMING COURSES AT NORTH DAKOTA

Introduction to Weather Forecasting (ATSC 310) - Spring 2025/2026
An operations approach to application of practical methodologies of weather analysis using computer textual and graphic analysis systems. Involves routine weather laboratory activities commonly found within the operational sector of meteorology.

Numerical Weather Prediction (ATSC 530) - Spring 2025
Covers scale analysis in atmospheric prediction; numerical methods; various atmospheric prediction models; the use of filtering, smoothing, interpolation, weighting and adjustment in objective analysis techniques; numerical forecasting; current NWP structures and applications.

Broadcast Meteorology (ATSC 315) - Fall 2025
An introduction to the field of broadcast meteorology and science communication which provides an overview of television production, the profession of broadcast meteorology, AMS Seal requirements, role of the station scientist, ethics and the production, organization, critique, and presentation of weather and other science information for a public audience.

Dynamic Meteorology (ATSC 360) - Spring 2026
Basic equations of motion, atmospheric thermodynamics, balanced motions, and atmospheric disturbances are examined on an introductory level.

LEAD INSTRUCTOR (Florida State)

Weather Analysis and Forecasting (MET 2507) - Spring 2021
This course is an introduction to meteorological observations, data, codes, and scalar analysis practices. Weather applications software systems and computing environments for meteorological analysis and weather forecasting techniques are examined.

TEACHING ASSISTANT (Florida State)

Atmospheric Dynamics 1 (MET 4301) - Fall 2020
Atmospheric dynamics is the study of motion in the atmosphere. Understanding the basic nature of atmospheric flow is critical to understanding the origin and evolution of all weather and climate phenomena. In this course, students learn how to apply fundamental principles of mechanics and thermodynamics (e.g., conservation of momentum, mass, and energy) to derive a set of equations governing atmospheric flow. Students learn how use these governing equations in order to gain insight into the basic nature of atmospheric flow, including the dynamics of vorticity and circulation.

GUEST LECTURER (Penn State)

Tropical Meteorology (METEO 597) - Fall 2022
Dynamic Meteorology (METEO 521) - Spring 2023
Severe and Unusual Weather (METEO 005) - Summer/Fall 2023

I have also served in tutoring roles in high school, undergrad, and during my Master's. I have experience in individual and group settings, tutoring courses in math, physics, meteorology, and environmental science.

I was a TA for Florida State's Atmospheric Dynamics I course, taught by my advisor, Prof. Allison Wing. In the FSU Weather Studio, we produced several "Weather In A Tank", which we've shown in class and outreach activities! Check out the full playlist at this link, covering topics such as the baroclinic instability and Hadley circulation examples shown below.
