Weather-obsessed early
Growing up in Florida, hurricanes turned curiosity into a lifelong fascination with how weather forms, moves, and affects communities.
Behind Rachel Radar
CURIOUS BY
NATURE.
Part meteorologist, part technologist, and always a weather nerd. Rachel turns atmospheric science, field observations, and resilient technology into weather information people can actually use.
01 / The path here
FROM FLORIDA
SKIES TO CYBER.
Rachel’s story lives at the intersection of two fast-moving worlds: understanding the atmosphere and protecting the systems that help us observe it.
Meteorology degree
Rachel earned her meteorology degree and developed the scientific foundation behind every forecast and explanation she shares.
Securing the future
A career in cybersecurity and IT added a new mission: helping protect the technology future generations of weather nerds will rely on.
02 / Field gear
READY WHEN
WEATHER ISN’T.
The field setup is built around awareness, communication, redundancy, and safety. The winter-ready tracked vehicle helps the team observe conditions where ordinary vehicles cannot safely operate.

03 / Command center
WHERE THE
SIGNAL COMES TOGETHER.
Behind every field update is a command center combining radar, observations, forecast models, communications, and live reporting. It is where incoming data becomes clear context—and where Rachel’s meteorology and IT experience work side by side.
