I believe visual data journalism can build bridges and understanding.

I've been a part of the award-winning ABC News Data Team for the last 7 years. While I work with stations across the country, I am based out of the Chicago Metro Area, in Illinois. I've built interactive experiences that turn complex data and investigations into digestible, memorable stories. My work spans several collaborative projects that have been recognized with Emmys, Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards and more importantly, have had real positive impact on our communities.

As first-generation American and college graduate, I embrace journalism's power to inform, connect, and hold power to account. Every project I build is powered by my desire to enact positive change.

I thrive at the intersection of journalism, design, and technology, whether that's building a Svelte-powered data tool, designing motion graphics for an investigation, complex data, explainers or documentaries, and even crafting a scrolly-telling experiences that prompt institutional reform.
