I enjoy simplifying complex topics with thought provoking stories involving numbers and engaging visuals—these are mostly around trade, markets and economics. I enjoy playing with different color palettes and my current favorite color is fuchsia!

At the paper, I covered special sections such as the economy of food trucks in the region, the pandemic’s impact on small businesses, financial aid during the pandemic and supply chain disruption.
My special coverage of the underreported cases at long-term care facilities during the pandemic led to a county-level dashboard to track COVID-19 cases daily.
