Research Interest
End-use and context-based evaluation of CMIP climate model data to support decision making and research applications, climate modeling, regional geospatial modeling.

My long-term professional goals include:
- increasing the usability of climate change information in adaptation and mitigation decision making processes and in policy development,
- producing defensible climate information for decision makers,
- developing a system of professional ethics for producing and using climate information,
- stakeholder engagement and collaborations focused on climate resilience,
- science communication and outreach.
Hobbies
Ask me what my latest obsession is! I tend to hyper-focus on one hobby at a time but have been known to enjoy playing the guitar, seeing live music, painting, making furniture, reading, cooking (especially Indian food), developing the perfect chai/coffee drink/cocktail recipes, vegetable gardening, hiking, kayaking, training dogs, and volunteering at pet shelters.
