Digital Portfolio
Sometimes data speaks louder than words. Click through my portfolio below to see the nursing home interactive I created for a contest in which I mapped out some of the worst nursing homes in the country. The slider map was part of my company's "Guns in America" project, in which we examined the issues of gun violence and the effectiveness of regulation.

About Me
I am currently a digital content manager at an ABC and Fox affiliate in Redding, Calif. where I edit all online content. I also do freelance research and data visualization for Visual.ly and KQED in San Francisco.
After studying literary journalism and French literature at UC Irvine, I moved to New York City where I attended Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism to study magazine journalism.
There, I learned the power of journalism in the digital age and learned all I could about coding, design and big data.
I have since headed several projects, won awards and hope to grow with media and help it adapt to its new digital environment.
