Current: Data journalist at American City Business Journals.
Past: Editorial Fellow at Axios, data and visual journalist at several news outlets including CTV News, Quartz, The Puget Sound Business Journal, TheStreet.com and VentureBeat.

I have worked as a data and visuals journalist at CTV News-National in Toronto, covering a wide range of topics—from rising Omicron numbers to immigration backlogs, soaring inflation, and climate change. I enjoy using mapping tools and have created multimedia interactives through ESRI’s GIS interface, such as “50 Years Later: Expulsion from Uganda” and “Canadian Skies Turning Lethal for Migratory Birds.”
My coverage of Canadian immigration backlogs at CTV drew national attention, pushing authorities to fasten processing times through a special tracker for applicants to track their applications.
Prior to CTV News, I was a data journalist at The Puget Sound Business Journal(PSBJ), one of the 44 local markets of American City Business Journals,
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.
Earlier in my career, I covered financial topics for The Street in 2013 for more than 2 years, writing extensively on stock markets, earnings reports, the Federal Reserve, interest rates, campaign finance, Brexit and personal finance. My analysis of the company’s earnings and valuations on companies such as Amazon, Facebook, and Snap feature as premium content for Seeking Alpha readers.
