CBM #912 🎉

I am thrilled to announce I’m an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM)! The CBM demonstrates my commitment to knowledgeable communication of weather & scientific events. I had to pass an exam as well as have my on-air work evaluated by a panel of broadcast meteorologists. It was a lengthy process & I appreciate everyone who helped me along the way! by @jackieozone

Do you know why the leaves change in the fall? I know Taylor Swift does because she mentions it in one of her songs 🎶🍃🍂🍁

Let’s talk about the science behind our fall foliage & why some years are more vibrant than others!

On Saturday, October 24th, it was an incredible evening celebrating the amazing work @twcvienna does for the local community at their annual Gala.

From their mental health services, counseling, support therapy, to workshops and leadership conferences, they play an important role in building up our community. They have for more than 50 years!

So, to be back again emceeing for the third year in a row was such an honor. ✨

Shout out to @crousepowell for capturing the night! 📸

An August weekend back in Boston 🏙️⚓️🍝

Ten years ago, I moved to Boston. 2016. I had made a Pinterest board back then called “Augustana” because I didn’t want to make it so obvious where I was going. So, I obvs had to make it the song for this post.

Felt great to be back, hit up some of my favorite spots & see some old friends 👋
