Jackson Sims is a fourth year EAS major with a focus in meteorology planning to graduate in the Spring. He grew up on a farm in Palmetto, GA working with his granddad, which fostered his interest in meteorology as the weather always played a role in what they would be doing each day. He was an MSE major for his first three semesters at Tech until he heard about and switched into EAS. He has been involved with the Baptist Collegiate Ministry on campus. His research interests are centered around how synoptic and mesoscale weather phenomena and large-scale atmospheric circulations impact the agricultural industry, as well as their associated resource availability and social issues. He will get to dive into those research interests this Fall with Dr. Christ and is planning to pursue a practical internship with the National Weather Service in the Spring. He is very grateful to God, his family and friends, and his professors who have helped him get to where he is today.
