Developer/Storyteller
Hello!
JOVIAL: cheerful, friendly and energetic.
As a journalist and storyteller, I specialize in data analysis, visualization, digital storytelling and web development technologies. I am passionate about investigating topics by exploring both local and global data and reporting stories that provide in-depth insights into the community and the world.
​
Prior to my graduate studies at Northeastern University, I pursued a double major in data journalism and advertising & public relations at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I believe that my undergraduate experience has greatly benefited my career as a journalist, as it has helped me to unearth and report on data-driven stories that are valuable to the public.
​
Over the years, I have developed a number of skills and qualities that allow me to humanize data and bring stories to life through storytelling and visualization. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy, I am dedicated to producing data journalism that is both informative and engaging.
