Meet Danielle Gersh, who went from being a young equestrian interested in how the weather affected her horses to a meteorologist and television weather forecaster!
“Growing up, I always loved observing weather patterns, but I was never fully aware of the correlation between meteorology and math. Had I known, I definitely would have studied harder in school!”
- Danielle Gersh
