September 2011 – present

University of Massachusetts Amherst Director, Diversity Programs Office, College of Engineering The Diversity Programs Office provides personal, professional and academic counseling for all students in the College, with an emphasis on our approximately 400 diverse students. The office provides academic support and professional development workshops, provides tutoring and study support, and sponsors networking events for students to interact with industry, alumni and faculty. The office also provides essay writing support services for scholarship, graduate school, and similar applications. Graduate students play a role in supporting undergraduates and serve as mentors to the following student groups – The Society of Women Engineers (SWE), The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). The office also runs a robust K12 outreach program, which provides opportunities for undergraduates to utilize their leadership skills, knowledge, and experiences to excite young adults about engineering. As Director, I have stabilized the budget, launched a two-tiered Connect for Success mentoring network, initiated the Outreach Leaders program to significantly revamp and refocus K12 efforts, reconnected the office with faculty and departments through establishment of a Faculty Advisory Board, and have revamped the office to be more open and inviting while emphasizing the professional and academic rather than social functions of the office.

October 2007 – August 2014

University of Massachusetts Amherst Director of Education, Outreach, and Diversity ERC for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere The Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) is an interdisciplinary, multi-sector partnership of government, academic and industry institutions dedicated to fostering innovation that detects hazardous weather events. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has sponsored this center since 2002 (10 year grant), with funding ending in August 2014 following a one-year no-cost extension. CASA supports faculty and staff research in a variety of settings and has diversity, education and outreach components that impact undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and academic institutions. CASA is led by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, but its diversity, education and outreach efforts focus on students and faculty across more than eight partner universities and colleges. Additionally, it has offered professional development opportunities for teachers (both K-12 and university faculty) in the form of weeklong workshops and research experiences. As Director of the Diversity, Education, and Outreach Programs, since 2007 I was responsible for meeting and reporting upon CASA’s goals and initiatives in these areas in collaboration with colleagues across the partner campuses.

Princeton University Post-doctoral Research Assistant Part of a research team that conducted empirical analyses of the fundamental physical processes at the land-surface that control the hydrology and hydraulics of extreme floods. Responsible for assembling detailed rainfall, discharge, and land-surface data sets for approximately seventy distinct watersheds, distributed throughout the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, experiencing 100+ year flood events. Responsible for analyzing the data set to answer several scientific questions addressing the role of antecedent soil moisture, drainage basin morphology, space-time structure of rainfall, soil texture, and basin land use - land cover in determining the hydrologic response of extreme floods. Inter-comparison studies, regional analyses, and the response of individual watersheds over a range of flood magnitudes were conducted. A variety of analytical tools were used, including statistical analysis, GIS analysis using the ERDAS IMAGINE package, and 2-D modeling of overland flow processes with the CASC2D model.
