I am a story editor for graphics and data at The New York Times based in San Francisco. I edit web-based stories, data visualizations and interactive graphics, mostly but not exclusively about elections and politics. I care about clarity, accuracy, and tools that hold up on deadline. When I'm not at the office, I can be found riding my Vespa or hanging around the Mission District.
Experience
The New York Times
I edit web-based stories, data visualizations and interactive graphics covering elections and politics. This includes our live results pages for U.S. and international elections as well as live vote tracking in Congress, live political debate coverage and our COVID tracker. This work means coordinating between the newsroom, designers, developers and engineering teams. It requires proficiency with design tools like Figma, Illustrator and Photoshop, and Javascript tools like Node, D3, and Svelte. I regularly use AI tools like Copilot and Claude to help me manage my schedule and task list, spin up internal tools and write code for projects. Additionally, I manage two graphics reporters who also work on elections and politics.
Bloomberg News
Managed 2020 live election graphics coverage for the newsroom. Led a team of six to design and develop our results pages. Designed and developed visualizations on subjects ranging from fracking to political analysis to cruise ships sailing during the pandemic.
Created visualizations for daily news coverage and long term projects using a wide-ranging set of tools from Node, D3, Svelte and QGIS to Adobe Illustrator and Cinema 4D. Managed 2018 election live results visualizations and AP election API feeds to the breaking news team.
