I am an award-winning journalist with professional newsroom experience.
Currently, I am a Dow Jones News Fund Intern at WHYY. I have a speciality in data journalism and visualization, gaining extra experience at the DJNF boot camp at UMD. I work with Excel and R to parse data sets and DataWrapper and Flourish to make that data tell stories.
My last large project was focusing on the Unlocking New York collection of articles. I served as a contributor and project coordinator for the role, managing multiple students and the overall content flow of the site..
I've worked at syracuse.com, The NewsHouse and contributed to several other newsrooms and stations.
