I am an award-winning operational meteorologist focused on disruptive weather and weather safety, serving as Senior Atmospheric Scientist at Nutrien Ag Solutions. I work closely with Nutrien’s safety, health, and environment team working to keep our people and assets safe and prepared before the storm while facilitating emergency response efforts during and after the storm. Throughout the growing season, I provide weather decision support directly to growers and crop consultants across the U.S. and Canada. During the ag off-season, I spend much of my time traveling and presenting at conferences and winter meetings in the ag industry providing education and analysis on weather impacts.
