I have a new article, Human Behavior in the Presence of Wildfire Smoke, published in the Chicago Policy Review discussing research exploring differences in group responses to wildfire smoke exposure. This research has implications for how policymakers can improve risk mitigation measures to consider the realities of disadvantaged groups.

For my final project in Data and Programming for Public Policy II, I study whether household internet access impacts American school-age students’ test scores. Given the uptake in remote learning methods during the pandemic, I posit that states or cities with greater shares of households with internet access would also have less extreme declines in test scores from 2019 to 2022.

In America’s Communication Identity, Visualized, I visualize technology adoption and use in American households in an attempt to understand the ubiquitous nature of today’s communication technologies. This project was completed as the final course deliverable for CAPP 30239: Data Visualization.
