Check out my lab webpage for more information about my research and teaching advances at the University of Illinois:
In a modern world, science can be an intelligible language for all, and with my work, I am evolving how risk is communicated to multiple language groups across our nation.
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Department of Climate, Meteorology, and Atmospheric Sciences, in partnership with the Department of Communication. I examine how multilingual speakers receive, understand, and respond to extreme weather and climate hazards.
With over five years of experience at NOAA, I continue to spearhead policy changes to enhance multilingual communication across government agencies. These achievements have established me as a national leader in this field, culminating in my recognition as the youngest recipient of the 2022 AMS Award for Early Career Professional Achievement.
Beyond the research landscape, I am a 2-time Telly award-winning bilingual meteorologist at MyRadar and create Spanish-language weather and climate digital content. The journey for a Weather Ready Nation for all is only beginning; join me!
“And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go, struggling and striving, and hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition ere long.”
