About

I currently work at The Associated Press and previously reported and produced visual stories for the Tampa Bay Times.

I completed Columbia Journalism School’s Lede Program in data journalism, where I worked with Python, JavaScript, D3, mapping, scraping and interactive storytelling. I also hold a master’s degree in digital journalism and design.
