Data Scientist, Center for Digital Development, U.S. Global Development Lab
I'm fascinated by the intersection between science, technology, data, and design. I love analyzing complicated data, figuring out what they mean, and deciding how to visually communicate the results to others. Trained as a biophysical chemist, I have pursued multidisciplinary research at the interface of optics and surface chemistry to tackle problems in biology. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching others about data visualization and science.
