Data Projects & Stories

Data Projects

These projects were completed during my time at Columbia University from the fall of 2023 to the summer of 2024.

I used Python, R, BeautifulSoup, Pandas, Playwright, ggplot, matplotlib, SQL, Mapbox, DataWrapper, Inky, Adobe Illustrator, and "scorytelling" to tell various stories with data and graphics in beats of education, criminal justice, business, social inequality, culture, environment, transportation, and health.
