I'm a data journalist and graduate of Northeastern University's journalism master's program. My studies helped me accumulate the necessary skills to become a fierce competitor in the data journalism industry while learning multiple coding languages and libraries. As a reporter, I'm passionate about highlighting systemic issues and giving a voice to marginalized communities — letting data serve as a tool for advocacy. My long-term goal is to be part of a newsroom's data team to increase the public's capacity for data literacy and combat the fervent issue of disinformation.
