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.

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.

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!
