ANNOUNCEMENT: After months of studying for the exam and having samples of my digital work reviewed, I am grateful to have received the Digital National Weather Association Seal of Approval!

According to the NWA, this shows my meteorological competency and digital performance skills are above standards.

This has been a goal of mine since earlier this year. I am forever grateful and honored to receive this! None of this would have been possible without the support of so many, including friends, family, and of course the great team I work with on a daily basis!
