"My research interests focus on El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections to the high latitude South Pacific. In particular, I am interested in how ENSO influences the Amundsen-Bellingshausen Seas Low, and the West Antarctic and Antarctic Peninsula climate, especially when it is coupled with the Southern Annular Mode."

"My interests in Geography fall under the historical, cultural, and human realm of the discipline. In particular, the historical geography of the United States, the construction of cultural landscapes, and the geography of religion. My thesis research is an exercise in mapping religious diversity in the Southeastern United States with the intentions of  developing new ways of mapping religious patterns that takes into account and more clearly depicts local and regional variability."

"Although I have a broad interest within the field of meteorology, I have developed a deeper passion for Antarctic weather.  Specifically, I wish to better understand regional climate change around the western Antarctic Peninsula attributed to a semi - permanent low pressure system within the Amundsen - Bellingshausen Seas region, as well as any underlying relations this semi - permanent feature may have to large - scale forcing mechanisms."
