Visual storytelling and design through data-centered stories

More about me...

I'm a Graphics Reporter at The Washington Post. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Maryland, where I majored in Journalism and Information Science. While studying, I was a data journalist at the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism. I also wrote arts and culture stories and did layout design for special editions at The Diamondback, and edited food stories at Spoon University. I've done research in behavioral transportation sciences and sustainability analytics.

Recently, I've been thinking about: text analysis, interviewing data, designing interative graphics and telling stories with data. Talk to me about any of these!
