I'm a human-computer interaction researcher and PhD student studying how to communicate data via sound, voice, and multi-media experiences. As a former data journalist, I am experienced in data analysis and visualization -- as well as radio, podcasting, and audio storytelling -- and am fusing those skills to study how voice technologies like Alexa and Google Assistant can be used as emerging platforms for news and critical information. I have led several interactive, design- and skills-based workshops at SRCCON and as a trainer for the Society of Professional Journalists.
