I work with data and information practices to support human rights, social change, and visibility of underrepresented histories using mapping, data storytelling, and digital communications. I particularly enjoy working on projects in qualitative data to cull the stories out of complex narratives, as well as on projects that aim to present stories through cartography, timelines, and digital interaction.
