Economist turned Data Journalist
I recently graduated from the Data Journalism masters at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. I used to be an economist/ teacher and almost got a PhD in Economics. I am keen to leverage my background and bring statistical methods to the newsroom as well as break down complex academic research and data analysis for the public. I like to use visuals to tell stories that are otherwise hard to understand. I mostly look for stories at the intersection of climate, economics and public policy. In addition to creating charts and maps, I like to doodle on Procreate to make my own illustrations and animations.
