Hello North Carolina! I just joined the @charlotteobserver.com's investigative team. I am a data reporter, which means I find and report stories on trends, systemic problems, outliers or disparities based on my own analyses. Think of me as a coder-math-nerd-journalist hybrid.

Luci and I are hitting the road to North Carolina this week! I start on the investigative team at the @charlotteobserver.com Sept 29. Excited to dive into a new region and new topics for me! Luci is excited to get out of the Phoenix sun.

We love you Maddie. For 16 years you were my rock. A tiny girl with a huge presence. Not many cats would tackle 4 cross-country moves, camping trips & raising 10 puppies with curiosity and grace. You feared nothing & loved your people hard. Andrew & I are broken without you. @apantazi.bsky.social

The epitome of living with chronic migraines is being such a pro at pushing thru severe symptoms bc we’re taught to be ashamed of our headaches, that we’re overreacting, that we’re hypochondriacs to the point that an MRI finds a scar showing that years ago you had a stroke and you just kept going.

Can confirm Buford is a very good boy

NICAR25 was excellent this year and I didn’t even mind the cold that much. We learned, we taught, we karaoked, ate incredible food, explored Minneapolis + spent time w/ our fave people! As always, thanks to @ire-nicar.bsky.social for putting on the best conference there is ❤️🤓🥳 @apantazi.bsky.social

Hey fellow data reporters visiting Minneapolis: go to Owamni. I have no words; I have melted. @ire-nicar.bsky.social

Happy Valentine’s Day to @apantazi.bsky.social. Who knew you can find true love at journalism conferences and, more surprisingly, an R data reporter and a Python data reporter can overcome their differences for romance? 🤓 @ire-nicar.bsky.social

A surprising fact: many local hikers (myself included!) tend to assume most people who need to be rescued on city hikes are from out of state but they’re not!

I’m an American in Scotland and the folks next to me at the Inverness airport said they’re so sorry for everything happening in my country

Everyone always stops me and is all WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT

I’m tired of shrugging

What should I start telling them? Wrong answers only
