The Program on Climate Change (PCC) seeks to amplify interactions among climate science researchers at the University of Washington. The program also houses educational opportunities for the public to learn about climate change through outreach events and structured classes. During my undergraduate studies, along with Miriam Bertram, Cecilia Bitz, and LuAnne Thompson, I helped manage relevant climate coursework, events, and news at the University of Washington and develop ways to better communicate science.
Committee on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography
-
I am serving as the student representative on the American Meteorological Society Committee on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography. I help organize the bi-annual Conference on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography and improve polar research and outreach through meetings, symposia, and educational activities.

Making the esoteric pertinent: a talk with Inez Fung
-
I conducted an interview with Inez Fung, professor of atmospheric science at the University of California, Berkeley, about the future of climate and climate change research, climate communication, and her colleague Piers Sellers.
An emerging scientist explores the intersection of climate activism and science
-
I conducted an interview with Bill McKibben, famed environmentalist and co-founder of 350.org, on where climate communication and science intersect.
The future of Arctic sea ice cover

Arctic Shifts
-
Arctic Shifts is a short animation being created by Anna Lindemann, an assistant professor at the University of Connecticut. The animation focuses on complex changes in ecosystems and physical landscapes occurring in the Arctic, the region of our planet most affected by climate change and highlights changes to phytoplankton life cycles and past and future changes to Arctic sea ice. Arctic Shifts will illuminate interconnected microscopic and macroscopic processes resulting from climate change. The animation uses real climate data and will be on display at the NCAR Mesa Lab for public viewing. I'm serving as scientific advisor for this project.
