"So you're gonna be on The Weather Channel someday, eh?" was one of the most common questions that I received while I was at FSU as a meteorology student. For much of a decade I always took the time to explain that meteorologists do more than TV and The Weather Channel. And they do more often than not. This response was often a an honest, but easy way of saying 'no'.
The winds of change have gust in and changed that answer in recent weeks. I have been brought aboard the TWC Digital Team as a "Digital Meteorologist" in Atlanta, GA just ahead of this hurricane season.
As a Digital Meteorologist, I will be responsible for writing some of the content that appears on weather.com and their mobile app, and providing meteorological guidance to the content and video teams.
I am excited to take on this new challenge, and I realize that I am incredibly lucky to become part of this well established team of meteorologists. It may have taken a long time for me to join a team, but I also realize that I was lucky to have an extended break to enjoy with family and friends after 8 unbeatable years of college. I look forward to enjoying an Autumn with falling leaves and cooling temperatures too. I know that I have lots to learn over the next few months.
Throughout the last year I had numerous big supporters that helped me find jobs and look in places that I never thought of. S2k undoubtedly has played a role in the early parts of my development as a meteorologist, and I am grateful for that. Thank you to those that have and will help me along the way.
Can't wait for you to join me on my new journey.
