/What I do

I have more than 15 years of professional experience in telling stories. I’ve worked for print newspapers, news websites, and business intelligence companies. I have done most of the jobs in a newsroom, and I can build powerful, interactive data visualizations. I can use most content-management systems, know how to measure and use site analytics, and am familiar with web programming languages. Additionally, I know how to use user testing to improve site traffic.
