I am a senior data journalist at Statista where I use infographics to cover news topics with a focus on politics and policy, viewing current affairs through an international lens. After earning my masters’ degree in journalism from the University of Colorado, I have worked for newspapers and reporting projects in the U.S. and Germany, giving me a unique, transatlantic perspective. I believe all news topics can benefit from a little dose of data. As a contributor, I intent to cover issues as wide-ranging as gender equality, climate change, labor and immigration – all with the help of relevant statistics and insightful visualizations.
