Objective
I'm open to learning more about opportunities in the tech-journalism space. I have the most experience coding custom and interactive web stories alongside reporters and editors on collaborative teams, and would love to learn about jobs that let me do that. I also enjoy writing scripts for scraping and making usable reader-facing tools like trackers and dashboards.Education:
