RegalCare and other nursing home chains have rapidly expanded in Massachusetts. The Globe Spotlight Team found widespread problems and little state intervention. I designed and developed the story and built the graphics for @bostonglobe.com apps.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/spot...

Outside chains like RegalCare transformed Mass. nursing homes. Quality fell.

"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

One-third of dialysis clinics failed to meet federal standards this year. Our data team’s latest uncovered serious shortcomings in the quality of care across the dialysis industry and I built an interactive lookup tool so you can see how each clinic performed: www.cbsnews.com/dialysis/

Interactive map and table displaying performance scores for dialysis clinics across the U.S. Users can search by clinic name, city, or ZIP code, and filter results based on performance metrics. Each clinic is represented by a circle on the map and a row in the table, with scores based on Medicare-reported quality measures.

One year on the CBS News data team! Here are some of my favorite data visualizations from the past 12 months! It’s been incredible to help shape our team’s viz style guide and see how our charts have evolved. Plus, I had the chance to work on some of CBS’s first ai2html and interactive pieces! ✨

Screenshots of various visualizations I've worked on during my first 12 months on the CBS News data team.
