About me

Hi, I'm a journalist and I love to write, analyze and visualize data, and produce compelling data stories from start to finish.

My extensive background in business and economic reporting, and engineering helps me merge rigorous data-driven reporting with eye-catching visuals.

I am currently pursuing a master’s in data journalism at Columbia Journalism School to hone my coding skills and write with data. Previously, I worked as an editor at Moody’s, a credit ratings agency, and as a business correspondent at Reuters, a wire news service.
