Hurricane
Gloria was the event that turned Marisa Ferger into an official
"weather weenie." The storm forced her hometown of Bayville,
NY to be evacuated and sparked her interest in meteorology. After
graduating from the University of Oklahoma, Marisa worked as an
on-air meteorologist and reporter at WPBN in Traverse City, MI
and KOKH in Oklahoma City. Before joining the Weather Communications
Group in July of 2002, Marisa worked in television and radio in
State College, PA.
In addition
to being involved in Meteorology students' academic and organizational
activities, Marisa teaches weather communications and frequently
appears on "Weather World," which is broadcast daily
on the Pennsylvania Cable Network at 5:45 p.m.
