Data journalism
At USAfacts, I use government data to give context to the important issues impacting Americans. I cover education, families and childcare as well as healthcare. I write breaking news stories, in-depth explainers and investigative data stories. I create data visualizations and make videos using interesting data findings. I co-authored the 2022 State of the Union in numbers. My work is seen in DataIsPlural.
