I’m filled with so much gratitude it’s hard to even put it into words 🥲 2025 marked a decade in TV for me. A decade living in 4 different states, countless hours on-air covering extreme weather, & countless stories & field reports to make the climate crisis more relatable. #AMS2026

I’ve been at @ametsoc.org since I was a student, but this one is special. It feels full circle, like that eager student would be really proud of the young professional holding that award, proud of the path we trailblazed in climate communication, & excited for what’s next. 🥲#AMS2026

We’re home after a great trip to Houston for #AMS2026. Lots of good conversations, presentations, and posters.

We’re looking forward to August when you’re all in our hometown for the #AMSMadisonSummit!

I wonder if we might host a little get together. 🤔

The research from an international team of scientists introduces the concept of a marine darkwave: a short-term but intense episode of underwater darkness that can severely impact light-dependent marine life.
