I’m a data reporter on the national investigative team at Scripps News. I help write and report stories using datasets and code.
You can read stories that I’ve worked on here. Before journalism, I thought I would become an economist or sociologist (I couldn’t decide). I worked at MIT Sloan and the Golub Center for Finance and Policy and was a Civic Digital Fellow at the National Center for Health Statistics. I’ve also helped with research projects on women’s business ownership and educational segregation.
I hold a B.S. in mathematics from Duke University, where I received a full merit scholarship.
Outside of data, I’m also deeply interested in youth civic engagement. I was born and raised in Houston, and since high school, I’ve helped start the Institute of Engagement, Shift Press, and the HISD Student Congress.
