Many of my most fulfilling experiences in academia came through my involvement in projects with impacts beyond the academic domain. During the summer of 2017, I worked with the Vital Signs team at Conservation International on a number of analyses relating agricultural productivity, environmental resilience, and economic outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Results from our primary project - a predictive model of water insecurity events in Tanzania, Ghana, Rwanda, and Uganda - are available through the Vital Signs Resilience Atlas.

During graduate school, I was affiliated with the Comparative Constitutions Project (CCP). As a member of the CCP team, I helped to build Constitute, a search and visualization tool powered by CCP's data on the world's founding texts. I also helped to build a series of visualizations related to the project, which were displayed online and on-site at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
