   personal_statement: I am a Volcanologist with the USGS-USAID Volcano Disaster
     Assistance Program (VDAP), which helps respond to volcanic crises around the
     world. My main role is to develop, populate, query, and analyze databases of
     volcanic eruption information for eruption forecasting. During crisis responses,
     I help facilitate and participate in event tree exercises, perform global database
     analyses, and assess and model mass flow hazards. I am also heavily involved
     in international capacity building and knowledge exchange workshops, including
     event tree workshops, expert elicitation exercises, pyroclastic flow and lahar
     modeling training courses, and hazard map workshops. I teach a module on lahar
     and pyroclastic flow hazard mapping at the Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes
     (CSAV) International Training Course every year. Additionally, I developed the
     IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Hazards and Risk Volcanic Hazard Maps Database.
     My other research interests also include pyroclastic flow dynamics (including
     ash-cloud surge detachment), geophysical flow modeling, hazard-mapping, and
     dome-forming eruptions. I am originally from Louisville, Kentucky.
