Economy Tracker for The Texas Tribune
The Texas Tribune
May 2020 - January 2021
Tools: Python, HTML, CSS, and charts built with D3.js
I led the design and development of a web app that tracks the monthly statewide unemployment rate, county-level unemployment rates, and sales tax revenues collected in Texas throughout the coronavirus pandemic recession and recovery.
An earlier version also included the number of initial claims for unemployment benefits filed in Texas each week.
Data for this tracker comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Local Area Unemployment Statistics program and from the Texas Comptroller's Office.

The Opiate Crisis Across Massachusetts
Middlebury College CS465: Information Visualization
November 2018
Tools: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (D3)
For our final project for CS465: Information Visualization, Nina Sonneborn, Steph Jordan and I built an interactive web app to explore the opiate crisis in Massachusetts. Data for the project came from Mass.gov and the U.S. Census TIGER Products.
Resaca Explorer
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
July - August 2018
Tools: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Leaflet, CARTO, jQuery)
I built this interactive web map for Dr. Jude Benavides and his team at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, who wanted a user-friendly way to share the data they are collecting on the resaca systems of Cameron County, TX with interested residents.
The Resaca Explorer was my first attempt at building a web map with code. I began by building a Leaflet map loading external geoJSON files, using Lyzi Diamond's post about this method as a guide. Ultimately, to allow Dr. Benavides' team to update the data without needing to edit code and to allow users to easily download data, I merged the five resaca system shapefiles into a single dataset and hosted it with CARTO.
Throughout the project, I spent a lot of time with w3schools CSS, HTML, and JavaScript tutorials, as well as stackoverflow threads and examples from the CARTO team.
