Hello! I’m Amy.

I currently work as an investigative data reporter at Scripps News. I help write and report stories using datasets and code on a variety of topics, including public infrastructure, healthcare, and thoroughbred racing. You can check out more of my work here.

I was a part of the team that won a 2024 national Emmy in the “Outstanding Investigative News Coverage: Short Form” category for our investigation into the Flint water crisis 9 years in. A data analysis I prepared was a key part of the interview pressing the mayor of Flint on the lack of progress on the pipe replacement project.

Previously, 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 hold a B.S. in mathematics from Duke University, where I received a full merit scholarship. I’m a native Houstonian and a big fan of the Institute of Engagement and Shift Press.

If you have questions, ideas, or common interests, please reach out at (my github username) at gmail.com. Or, you can find me on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and Github.
