ABOUT ME

Metro Database Reporter

I've been a part of The Washington Post since 2018. I take datasets, analyze them and turn them into narratives that reveal the stories hidden deep in spreadsheets. My coverage area includes D.C., Mayland and Virginia. However, I've worked with several desks across the newsroom including investigative, national and foreign.I use data science methods to comb through data. My tools of choice are R, QGIS and OpenRefine. With those three tools I can clean, explore and visualize data.

I'm also familiar with SQL and Javascript. I started working for the Post in Summer 2018 after leaving the Houston Chronicle. In 2018, I was a part of the team recognized as a Pulitzer Prize finalist for its coverage of Hurricane Harvey in fall 2017.
