Who is Katrina Voss?

Katrina Voss worked as a bilingual broadcast meteorologist for The Weather Channel Latin America and AccuWeather and holds the AMS Seal.

Her work has also appeared in New Scientist, The Humanist, and Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society where she wrote about sharing a name with a devastating hurricane.
