Elizabeth is an award-winning and data-driven storyteller whose career began in the bathroom of a Victorian mansion (ask her about it). Her background in website design, digital marketing, and communications across nonprofits, museums, tourism, and economic development gives her a deep understanding of how people learn and connect.
Her work centers on visual explanation and public engagement. She applies complex data science to her work in data journalism, data visualization, illustration, exhibit installations, and marketing analytics.

In 2023, the United Nations called on data teams to develop innovative, locally grounded solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, targeting one or more of six key transitions. Focusing on the intersection of food systems and mental health, we used structural equation modeling and exploratory factor analysis to identify two dominant factor groups. These groups helped us identify systemic barriers and enablers for sustainable food practices.

The first recorded UFO, according to the National UFO Reporting Center, was in June 1400. Throughout the next 400 years, rare sightings were recorded in journals, diaries, and official records with feathered pens, fountain pens, and typewriters. Fast forward to the summer of 1947 when a total of 41 UFOs were recorded by citizens staring into the heavens, and we entered into the Beige Age of UFOs. (Did you know? Scientists have determined the color of space is beige.)

Dashboards are powerful tools for data visualization and decision-making. To ensure consistency and clarity across our dashboard designs, I developed a comprehensive style guide and wireframe using Figma. This guide outlines best practices for color schemes, typography, layout, and interactive elements, helping to create visually appealing and user-friendly dashboards that effectively communicate data insights.
