I'm pretty proud of this project. As a part of a leadership training program that I participated in over the last 9 months, I was tasked with completing a capstone project. A long time challenge in my current field has been explaining what it is that we do. I'm a trained meteorologist, but I'm also a trained social scientist where I focus on communication of weather information, how people respond to weather, and how we can better prepare society for the weather in the future. It's a position that most people don't know exists, but it's vitally important. I study and learn about humans and how they interact with weather and forecast information. In short, my job is to learn about YOU, so that our messaging, products, and tools are most effective at meeting your needs. Given my video production and storytelling skills, I wanted to create a video to help others learn about what I do and how NOAA studies humans in order to achieve its mission.
