ICT researcher, data visualization enthusiast & online journalist

My Work

I am currently a Project Coordinator at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, where I am contributing to Berkman’s review of transparency and accountability in ICANN and working on a number of other projects. As a former research assistant at Berkman, I contributed to the OpenNet Initiative.

I also co-direct the Technology for Transparency Network, which documents and maps projects that use online technology to promote transparency and accountability in the public and private sectors. The network is part of the Global Voices Online community, where I help cover the Ugandan blogosphere.

I recently graduated from the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), where I studied the relationship between communications technology and development as an Anna Lord Strauss fellow. I also helped teach SIPA’s introductory quantitative analysis class and co-edited the school’s student-run blog, The Morningside Post.

I’ve previously lived and worked in Uganda, where I co-developed and directed a series of conferences on post-conflict development for American and African college students, and in Kansas, where I was a web producer for a the Lawrence Journal-World.
