1. What was your most memorable weather event?

Well, it wasn’t specifically a weather event but it was what got me excited about Earth Science and hence Weather. I was a Teen growing up in Portland, OR when Mt. St. Helens erupted. That event is why I am a Meteorologist today!! It woke me up to the Earth Sciences and that is what I have studied ever since. But my most memorable weather event was watching a “Clear-Air” tornado in Greece!

2. What is your favourite and least favourite type of weather?

My favorite weather is wind because that means something is about to change and I like a good change in the weather.

 

3. If you weren't a meteorologist what would you most like to be?

My own food truck selling my homemade soup or cleaning pools in flip flops.

 

4. From a purely meteorological point of view, where would you most like to live?

The Canary Islands

 

5. Is there anything else you'd like to share?

I love weather and I always say, “everyone talks about the weather, I just happen to know more about it”
