  intro_statements:

  - Addressing volcano hazards effectively entails more than doing good science. It

    requires ongoing and long-term conversations with communities at risk. In my career,

    I have developed and maintained inter-agency partnerships among scientists, emergency

    officials, news media, educators, and park staffs in WA and OR.

  personal_statement: My science career began with research on glaciers, principally

    those gracing our Cascade Range volcanoes; at Columbia Glacier AK; and later on

    glacier-related floods and debris flows. During this time, witnessing the May

    18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and taking part in the response set the

    course for several fascinating scientific projects. It also provided a front-row

    seat for observation and reflection upon the role of scientists in society. I

    learned that scientists must use the same degree of creativity and care with public

    communication that they use with their scientific research. Long-term and ongoing

    conversations pre-crisis can improve crisis response.  As CVO's Outreach Coordinator,

    I work in partnership with public officials, emergency planners, media, park interpreters,

    and educators to advance the cause of volcano preparedness.  Some earlier career

    choices have informed current work, including several years of teaching in a US

    public school and a private school in Kathmandu, Nepal, and working for the National

    Park Service.  My education continues daily through partnership projects and communications

    with the media, officials, and the public.
