About

My work is somewhere at the intersection of journalism, technology, social impact, research and development, and community engagement. I'm still finding my perfect place in the middle of their Venn diagram (likely, that place probably doesn't exist yet). Someday, I also dream of folding things like economics, statistics, and linguistics into my work.

I'm based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I lived in Baltimore, Maryland, for a year and grew up in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Since I finished my undergraduate education in journalism and economics at Temple University, I've worked in and with several large and small startup nonprofit newsrooms. Before attending college, I worked in conductive education, home healthcare, technical theatre, and an auto shop. I frequently find parallels between these prior roles and my current ones, and I'll write more about that someday.

Currently, I'm interested in exploring more areas of statistical software (R, Stata), civic technology, community convening strategies, information equity, agile for small and non-technical teams, non-generative AI applications, impact measurement and assessment, sustainable economic development, and media economics.

Outside of work and work-related things, I like to travel and bike a lot.
