Forever grateful for my alma mater that gave me the knowledge and tools to get me to where I am today. This in addition to the lifelong friendships and mentors I earned along the way. Happy Valpo Day! 💛🤎

Grateful is an understatement 🫶

I’m not over exaggerating when I say this story has been years in the making. To be the first on-air meteorologist to cover this story in this way was a huge honor… and knowing how amazing of an opportunity this was, I definitely felt the pressure. 🎥

Not to be left unsaid, this story was born of collaboration and my connection to the greater weather, water and climate enterprise (as we call it). Specifically, an ECLA one… HUGE shoutout to David. I would like to hope this story also serves as an example of sectors coming together in a mutually beneficial and meaningful way. We are one big team when it comes to advancing our field and protecting the communities we serve. 💪
