Expert earned her Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degrees in Atmospheric Science at the University at Albany and earned her Certified Consulting Meteorological designation from the American Meteorological Society in 2015. She developed a passion for severe weather and traveled to the Great Plains to study it in the field. She spent a summer in Norman, Oklahoma at the National Storm Prediction Center, doing research with a prominent severe weather scientist.

In graduate school, she developed a skill for making difficult meteorological concepts understandable in the classroom. She taught a variety of courses from upper level science to entry level courses for non-science majors, earning praise for her communication style. During her post-graduate studies, Expert continued to work closely with operational forecasters on research projects at the Albany National Weather Service Office and the Storm Prediction Center on both her Master and Doctoral research projects.

Her work as a forensic meteorologist and an educator is driven by a passion for science and clear communication. She delivers the results of her research to clients in terms which are readily understood by non-meteorologists.

Expert served as Chair of the American Meteorological Society Board of Certified Consulting Meteorologists, and is on the American Meteorological Society Board of Best Practices and the Board of the Association of Consulting Meteorologists.
