Introduce Me

I'm a data storyteller and analyst who helps organizations understand places through data, turning complex information about people, places, and environments into clear, useful insights.

Subject: Quick intro you can pass along

Hi — I wanted to share a snapshot of what I do, in case it’s useful to pass along.

I'm a data storyteller and analyst interested in how data can help organizations understand places, environmental and social systems, and the people who depend on them.

My background spans environmental policy, international development, tourism, and hospitality. I bring that interdisciplinary perspective to analytical work, combining technical skills with research, visualization, and communication to make complex findings accessible to nontechnical audiences.

Practically, I work in Python, SQL, and R to explore data, investigate patterns, and build visualizations and interactive maps. My portfolio includes projects on Vermont flood mitigation funding, Washington, D.C.'s short-term rental market, and geospatial storytelling.

I’m looking for opportunities in data analysis, research, and place-based data work, particularly with environmental organizations, planning and sustainability teams, research institutes, and other mission-driven organizations. I’m especially interested in roles where analytical work connects to real places, practical decisions, and public understanding.

If you know of a team that could use someone who can work with data and explain what it means, I'd appreciate the connection.
