10 SOCIAL EXPLORER
2014-2016


As Mapping Specialist and Product Manager at Social Explorer, a data library and visualization tool,  I designed and built map content for the site and managed the acquisition and processing of new datasets. I also engaged in web design and visualization strategy, overseeing the addition of new site features and functionality.

A particular focus of my work with Social Explorer was on the development of interactive map-based visualizations to support US History pedagogy . Using expertise in historical GIS and US Census records, I produced 22 multi-media, map-based, interactive chapters for the digital re-launch of a popular US history textbook with Pearson Education. In addition to digital map production, I conducted research with Social Explorer CEO Andrew Beveridge using novel methods on historical census data, and presented my work at the Social Science History Association 2015 conference.

I also collaborated with the US Census Bureau’s Geography Division and the team at National Historical GIS to bring new block group geometries to a specially tabulated, longitudinal analysis of young americans in ACS data from 1980-2013.
