I've been writing about demographics and immigration for more than 20 years, first as a Washington Post reporter and now as a writer for the Pew Research Center. After a listless math career in school, I took a statistics class during my Nieman year that showed me how fun it can be to dive into a pile of data and emerge with a story. Lately, I've also been getting into tweeting (@allthingscensus) and blogging.
