About me
I'm a Partnerships Manager at Database Tycoon, a boutique data consultancy that helps mission-driven organizations transform messy data into trustworthy, self-serve analytics. I spend my days working with partners like Hex, Fivetran, and MotherDuck to help organizations move from chaos to confidence in their data systems.
Before landing in data partnerships, I studied journalism at The New School here in New York, where I first began to understand how public data could tell the stories spreadsheets couldn't. That early exposure to civic data shaped how I think about information: not as abstract numbers, but as narrative infrastructure that reveals how our city actually works.
I spent ten years in NYC, and I care deeply about making civic and social policy legible through data. This workshop is my attempt to bridge the technical and the human: taking NYC Open Data and turning it into neighborhood stories that feel lived-in, not just analyzed. I want people to see that data work doesn't require a computer science degree, it requires curiosity and a willingness to ask better questions about the places we live.
Talk to me about partnership strategy in the data ecosystem, how to make technical tools feel accessible, creative approaches to civic storytelling, or what it's like building a career at the intersection of narrative, policy, and modern analytics.
