Steve Irwin and Laren Mahoney
August 7, 2013
Meet Laren Mahoney, another one of the summer interns here at Weather or Not. Laren begins a master’s program in atmospheric science at Creighton University in the fall. She spent the past decade in public relations before getting a degree in engineering. Laren met Sara Croke, owner of Weather or Not, through Kansas City’s Irish community and began interning last winter on the mid-morning shift.
“From this internship, I’m walking into my master’s program with operational forecasting experience that will put me ahead in my classes and further ahead of graduates without experience.” said Laren. “I was able to help create daily weather forecasts, ozone forecasts and work on projects that significantly benefit Weather or Not.”
Are you an energetic learner who’d like to participate in our paid internship this fall semester? If so, e-mail our Weather Center Manager, Brian Koochel at brian@weatherornot.com.
Enjoy grad school, Laren!
