What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my meteorological expertise while engaging with audiences through innovative content creation.

As a dedicated meteorologist, I have honed my skills in presenting complex weather data in an engaging and understandable manner for a diverse audience. Currently, I serve as the on-air primetime evening meteorologist at WNYT in Albany, NY, where I present live weather segments to over 500,000 households. My role involves gathering real-time meteorological information to produce comprehensive forecasts and severe weather updates for 14 counties, ensuring that the public is well-informed during critical weather events.

In addition to my on-air responsibilities, I have a strong background in digital marketing and content creation. My experience as a Contract Management Associate with Young Presidents’ Organization allowed me to lead the development of engaging multimedia content across various platforms. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in project management, video production, and social media strategy to enhance audience engagement and communication.
