Current Work Thomson Reuters Jan 2015-Current
Experience Research Analyst, Weather
Meteorologist for the Agriculture Commodities Group within Thomson Reuters Commodities Research and
Forecasts. Conduct a majority of the operational weather forecasting and relay information of major impacts on
primary agricultural regions of the globe to the rest of the agricultural team and clients. Responsibilities include:
• Conducting cutting-edge atmospheric, oceanic, and statistical research that continually improves skill in
weather forecasting, supporting global and regional crop production outlooks.
• Producing (bi)weekly short and long-term weather outlooks and associated agricultural impacts in a clear
and concise manner for the following areas: United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, EU-28,
Eurasia, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and China.
• Monitoring of global tropical cyclone activity and effectively communicating eventual impacts on
agriculture and energy sectors. Produce tropical outlooks to alert clients to potential risk well ahead of the
competition.
• Participating in crop tours that promote understanding of both areal extent of planted area of specific crops,
as well as quality and yield potential of major crops.
• Using statistical analysis, research, and composite analysis for modeling of long-term meteorological
phenomena such as: seasonal tropical cyclone activity, India monsoon intensity, and wintertime Arctic
Oscillation (AO) values.
• Updating and expanding content that has proven to be immensely successful on Thomson Reuters’
flagship online interface, Eikon.
Past Work Chesapeake Energy May-Aug 2012, 2013
Experience Energy and Agricultural Meteorology Intern
Assisted the three-member weather department team in Chicago, IL conducting global energy
weather forecasting for Chesapeake Energy and aided the consulting business tailored to
agribusiness firms. As an intern, responsible for:
• Weather/Climate Interface Research: Conducted research on current and past global
circulation and teleconnection patterns to promote increased forecasting skill for near-term
to long-term weather prediction.
• Assist in Daily Operations: Helped write daily weather wires to be distributed to
agribusiness firms and a twice-weekly energy weather wire. Topics included
temperature/precipitation forecast summaries, past weather write-ups, hazardous weather
outlooks, extreme weather and its impact on agriculture or energy, tropical outlooks, and a
special historical perspective on early frost/freeze events issued to agribusiness clients.
• Research Specialist: In collaboration with State University of New York (SUNY) Albany,
conducted research relevant to Chesapeake Energy and the University. Topics included:
Impact on global circulations due to loss of sea-ice, changes of worldwide snowcover
extent and its use as a predictor, and connections between Arctic and Tropics.
• Quality Control: Assisted weather department team by running forecast verifications and
identifying biases in previous forecasts to improve current forecasting skill.

Teaching Assistant and Researcher
Worked as a teaching assistant while working on research towards Masters Thesis
• Teaching Assistant: Assist faculty throughout the course of the semester by attending
lecture, grading homework and exams, holding weekly office hours for students, and
proctoring exams. Classes TA’d for include: Natural Disasters, Energy Environment &
Climate Change, and Intro to Environmental Science.
• Researcher: Perform research geared towards Masters Thesis, received December 2014.
Work includes looking at frequency/intensity of Arctic cyclones, changes in climate
variables within Arctic (precipitable water, geopotential heights, jet stream strength, etc),
October Eurasian snowcover extent as a wintertime predictor, and blocking regimes in
high-latitudes.
WGN-TV Jan-May 2011
Weather Production Intern
• Weather Assistant: Aided Tom Skilling in his daily on-air weather forecasts and
newspaper publications. Responsibilities included: Collecting statistics on weather
warnings/advisories, gaining a historical perspective of current weather forecasts,
summarizing extreme weather across the U.S., and monitoring of severe weather in the
region.
• Graphics Assistant: Produced graphics used for daily weather forecast. Worked on a strict
deadline to get forecast to newspaper production facility on time.
