Visualizing Bat Population Loss

Illustrator | JavaScript | R | Mapping

The Texas Tribune

I pitched, wrote, and produced data visualizations for this multimedia story on bat population loss in Texas and its impacts. For the story, I talked to over 15 different bat experts and visited bat sites across the state in order to understand how scientists were combatting the loss and the lack of historical data collection. Using Illustrator, I made a graphic with over 500 little bat SVGs in order to demonstrate the population change over time.

The Abortion Issue: A Multimedia Scrolling Page

Web Design | HTML/CSS/JavaScript | Interactive Graphic | Scrolly Telly

The Daily Tar Heel

I custom built and designed this full width scrolling page using HTML, CSS and JavaScript to accompany our special print Abortion Issue. To build this, I integrated multiple JavaScript plugins into the same code and cracked into the backend of our student newspaper website to allow customization.

Visualizing Women's Movements

Interactive Graphic | Web Design | HTML/CSS/JavaScript | Data | International Reporting

International Projects Team

I designed this page and created an interactive scroller and data visualization on violence against women in the Galápagos. The content for the scroller and data viz comes from on-the-ground interviews conducted in San Cristóbal. I also designed the project logo and conducted accessibility reviews of the entire project webpage.

Mapping Offshore Wind Leases

QGIS | GeoJSON/Shapefiles | Mapping

 The Texas Tribune

For this daily, I converted shapefiles into GeoJSON using QGIS in order to map where the offshore wind farm leases would be in the Gulf. I created the map using Datawrapper and calculated the total acreage/square miles of the bidding zones.

Charlotte Tree Canopy Dashboard

R | Dashboards| JSON | Mapping

Interactive Media Course Project

I created this interactive dashboard based on reporting I conducted at The Charlotte Observer on Charlotte’s declining tree canopy. The dashboard was created with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and helps show which parts of the city the tree loss is concentrated in. A lot of my reporting found that low-income communities of color that had fewer trees were more affected by urban heating. The dashboard was created using JSON data.

Conservative Students Censoring Political Views

Daily | R | Datawrapper

The Daily Tar Heel

I created this graphic featuring the main takeaways of a UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC-Greensboro report that found conservative students self-censored their views more in class than liberal students. The graphic was designed for online usability and print media. It was created with Datawrapper, R, and Adobe Illustrator.
