About
I am the data/graphics editor at POLITICO, where I lead visual and data journalism across coverage areas including investigations, policy and campaigns. I have more than a decade of experience in data-driven reporting and visualization.
At POLITICO, I have edited and contributed to reporting including investigations into Biden's Billions, the changing demographics of Black voters and assessing states' response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Before POLITICO, I worked as a data reporter at NPR and CQ Roll Call. I also worked at the Scripps Howard Foundation Wire in Washington, D.C., where I taught and edited multimedia work for interns. Earlier, as a USA Today collegiate correspondent, I covered higher education, politics and culture.
I have taught data journalism at American University and Northwestern University, and trained journalists in Egypt and Tunisia. I am a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and an inductee in the journalism department's Hall of Fame.
Outside work, I'm training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, working with my rescue dog Bandit and cheering on the .
