Dr. Kelsey N. Ellis

"My path to full professor has included my two greatest accomplishments: bringing my two daughters into the world and creating a fun, loving, and safe home for them. As a family of Halloween lovers, we have always enjoyed reading Room on the Broom. While we love its playful theme, what stands out most is its message - that sharing with others and being a good friend is the best path to success. That same lesson has shaped my career. Room on the Broom is a great metaphor for interdisciplinary work in weather and climate disasters. When we each throw in our expertise, we can create the most powerful brew of solutions. There is room on the broom for everyone. Iggety, ziggety, zaggety, ZOOM!"
