I'm Scout! I'm currently in my junior year of undergrad here at UGA pursuing degrees in Atmospheric Science and Geography, along with being a Japanese Language and Literature minor and pursuing a certificate in GIS. I transferred in from Georgia State University in Fall '24. My interest in weather first sparked when I was really young, around kindergarten to 1st grade; I was fascinated by the meteorologists on TV and all their fancy maps with all the fancy colors. A tour I took of the Weather Channel only further cemented this interest. As I grew older, my interest shifted more from "what is happening" to "how is this happening", which has led me to where I am right now. My main weather interests are things on the colder side: winter weather, the Winter season, polar climates. I also enjoy weather modeling and am the coordinator of the UGA-WRF Club. My main goal is to to go grad school for at least a Masters and then either continue on in academia or hopefully work as a forecaster with an agency such as the NWS.
