Hi, my name is Morgan Hiers, and I am a second-year student at the University of Georgia. I am majoring in both Atmospheric Science and Geography with a minor in Disaster Management. I recently began pursuing a Master's in Public Health focused on Disaster Management.

 

I have always been fascinated by the weather. I grew up in an area that received frequent thunderstorms and severe weather, and I became obsessed. I saw how my community was impacted by various atmospheric phenomena, and I wanted to be able to help my community, and those like it, prepare for such disasters and be ready for when they strike. I look forward to being able to help make a change in the future using my knowledge and skills that I am currently learning here at UGA.

Outside of meteorology, I play on the UGA Club Ultimate Frisbee team and enjoy various outdoor activities.
