She earned her B.S. in environmental science and policy from <em>Chapman University<\/em> in 2016! Ari studies how the interactions between wildfire, storms, and flood management infrastructure influence post-fire floods and debris flows. Her work aims to co-produce useful knowledge about the impact of climate change on flood risk and water resources with stakeholders to support efforts to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate

wildfires affect floods in Southern California.\u00a0 I&#8217;m passionate about doing applied science that addresses environmental &#8220;grand challenges&#8221; such as how climate change is worsening droughts, wildfires, and floods.\u00a0 I&#8217;m also very grateful that I get to work with flood control agencies to develop modeling tools that allow\u00a0us to better understand and prepare\u00a0for post-fire floods and debris flows.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><strong>What is the best advice you\u2019ve received in your science career?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">T<\/span>he best advice I&#8217;ve ever gotten regarding pursuing a career in science is the importance of good science writing skills.\u00a0 There are so many ways that writing skills help you get ahead in science and engineering, from research papers to funding proposals to public-facing reports.\u00a0 The more you can improve your writing, the better!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What are you most looking forward to about GCI?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Teaching classes and attending the GCI Showcase.<\/div>\n<p data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><strong>What would you be doing if you weren\u2019t a scientist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">I would probably be running a community science program for a non-profit somewhere.\u00a0 Is that still too science-y?\u00a0 Maybe owning my own bakery!<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><strong>How do you like your coffee?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div
