Welcome to my lab

I data. In the lab, I turn publicly available data into tools that help me think about Arlington issues in a way that’s easy to understand.

Feel free to poke around for yourself!

A cartoon scientist, a woman with dark hair in a bun and round glasses, holds up a bubbling flask with a clipboard of charts tucked under her arm. Out of the flask float tiny houses, dollar coins and traffic cones.
