Director of Graphics & Data Visuals
The Minnesota Star Tribune

Before landing in data and graphics journalism, my career spanned reporting, digital production, audience engagement, and audio/video storytelling, a mix that has allowed me to successfully build relationships and collaborate with every corner of the newsroom. Now, I manage a team of journalists to find unique visual ways to tell stories.

In 2023 and 2024, I was proud that this work led to our newsroom’s first infographics team portfolio Award of Excellence nods from the Society for News Design. Our work is also an integral partner to the robust reporting in our investigations and longform journalism.

I enjoy finding creative visual solutions to sticky data problems or complex topics, for every platform we publish on — and managing the people and workflows to make it all happen on deadline or over weeks and months.

Favorite data topics: Education, health, science, outdoors, climate, elections, pop culture
