About

I'm a student at Swarthmore College, where I study Mathematics, Economics, and Film and Media Studies. For the past year I've done several projects in data visualization, which I've found to be a natural extension of my fields of study.

Outside of school, I play frisbee for the Swarthmore Earthworms, I write jokes and occasionally perform them at stand-up shows, and I have a particular interest in Latin American literature.
