Welcome! 👋 I'm June.

🔅 I'm a data and graphics journalist passionate about covering climate change and the environment.

💻 A multimedia producer turned data reporter, I love making compelling data-driven graphics that draw readers' attention. See my scrollytelling project about lithium-ion batteries and hand-drawn data visualizations about heat pumps.

🧐 I'm a user of: Python, R, SQL, javascript, Illustrator, After Effects, Mapbox GL, QGIS.

🎹 Fun fact about me: I spent over a decade studying classical piano. Since moving to New York, I've been missing having a piano at home. My dream is to someday buy my own piano so I can practice Chopin Waltzes anytime I want!

nyc-subway-ridership

Using mapbox, I overlay the new york city subway ridership data with median income data. The map reveals that while subway ridership decreased significantly in affluent neighborhoods, it remained relatively consistent in lower-income neighborhoods.
