Deep dive: Before joining Axios (my work at Axios is highlighted in my resume), I worked at CTV News-National in Toronto as a data and visuals journalist, covering a wide range of stories— from hidden COVID-19 fatalities and rising Omicron numbers to immigration backlogs, soaring inflation and climate change. I am comfortable with mapping tools and have created multimedia interactives through ESRI’s GIS interface. These stories included “50 Years Later: Expulsion from Uganda” and “Canadian skies turn lethal for migratory birds.”

Our coverage on immigration backlogs and long wait times gained national attention, pushing authorities to fasten processing times. A special dashboard was also created by the government for applicants to track their application.

Prior to CTV News, I worked for The Puget Sound Business Journal(PSBJ),one of the 44 markets of American City Business Journals, for about 2.5 years.

As a data reporter, I covered special sections for the paper such as the economy of food trucks, the pandemic impact on small businesses, financial aid during the pandemic and supply chain disruption at the time. Our special coverage on the underreported cases at long term care facilities during the pandemic led to a creation of county-level dashboard to track COVID-19 cases on a daily basis.

I also maintained the local database to produce weekly lists of regional businesses along with insights on the findings, which were eventually published as the Annual Book of Lists.

Earlier in my careers, I covered financial topics for The Street in 2013 for 2.5 years, writing extensively on stock markets, earnings reports, Federal Reserve, interest rates, campaign finance, Brexit and personal finance. My bylines can be found in Reuters, Yahoo Finance, and MSN Money.
