I joined the Department of Atmospheric Sciences as a master's student in Fall 2021, working under the supervision of Prof. Larry Di Girolamo. I examined the macrophysical properties of shallow cumulus clouds over the tropical western Pacific using high-resolution satellite data collected during the NASA Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP²Ex) field campaign. I earned my M.S. degree from the department in August 2023. Currently, I'm continuing on as a first year Ph.D. student in the department.

I attended the Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines for my bachelor’s degrees in Applied Physics and Materials Science and Engineering while minoring in Data Science and Analytics. As an undergraduate, I worked on determining the sources of trace gas emissions in the South China Sea/West Philippine Sea region collected during the 2012 Vasco Cruise study for my thesis. I also participated in an internship at the Climatology Laboratory of Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan, where I evaluated different heat wave and heat stress indices over the Philippines. 

After completing my undergraduate studies in May 2020, I took a postgraduate diploma program in Earth System Physics at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Italy. There, I worked on using high-resolution satellite data to investigate sea surface temperature anomalies and their relationship to convection and the diurnal cycle in the Tropical Western Pacific.
