Secretary

Gabriel Pena

Gabriel Pena is a senior meteorology student and the 2024-2025 AMS secretary. He has always had a passion for weather, even as a kid he was always the first one outside, looking at the sky whenever bad weather rolled in. He has carried this passion for weather into adulthood, pursuing a degree in meteorology, as well as having been forecasting tornadoes across the country as a hobby for several years before chasing storms on his own in the Mid-Atlantic region. He has always been motivated to continue to do this in an academic environment, chasing his passion and helping make scientific contributions while doing so. This drove him to become a member of Project TILTTING in 2023, chasing with them in the Mid-Atlantic and deploying with them in the Great Plains in May 2024. Outside of weather, Gabriel also has a passion for creating music, having been making music for over 10 years. He also enjoys cooking, listening to music, working out, watching the Yankees, and spending time with friends and family.

Dei officer

Eliza Fries

Eliza Fries is the 2024-2025 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Officer for MU AMS. She is from Reading, PA, and is a senior Meteorology major with a minor in hydrology. Eliza was completely terrified of any kind of severe weather when she was really young, and at some point became more fascinated than scared of it. Her main interest is in research, and is currently focused on studying fire weather or cloud seeding. She is a lead forecaster for Millersville’s Campus Weather Service, a team lead for the university’s Weather Balloon Launch Team, and a student in the Honors College. Outside of meteorology, Eliza loves to be outside and frequently likes to go for runs or hikes. She also enjoys reading, baking, and spending time with her family. After graduation, Eliza hopes to attend graduate school to pursue either cloud or fire weather research. As the MU AMS DEI Officer, Eliza is really looking forward to meeting the incoming students and having a successful year for MU AMS.

He is currently focused on storm scale and tornado dynamics, as well as radar observations of convective storms. After graduating, Anthony plans to go attend graduate school, and earn his M.S and Ph.D. in Meteorology. Outside of his passion for weather, Anthony is also deeply interested in various other STEM fields, such as astrophysics, computer sciences and biology.
