hi! i'm flo
(also this site is under construction sozz)
I’m a writer, developer, and recent graduate of Wesleyan University.
I majored in Economics and East Asian Studies, but my work has primarily been in data journalism, digital humanities, and creative coding. In summer 2023, I completed the Lede Program for Data Journalism at Columbia University. See my projects here.
My interests lie at the intersection of journalism, data, and design — all in service of storytelling. I enjoy writing longform deep-dives on topics I find interesting and meaningful, drawing upon my experience in research and creative writing. I also enjoy creating fun data-driven graphics, like this one for The Pudding.
In the past, I’ve written about music, history, literature, languages, pop culture, economics, and libraries. Fun fact, I wrote my East Asian Studies capstone on Godzilla!
I am originally from Bogor, Indonesia 🇮🇩
I speak Bahasa Indonesia, some ä¸æ–‡, and some Italian.
In my free time, I like to:
- read Clarkesworld Magazine — particularly Isabel J. Kim's works
- rewatch Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Yellowjackets / She-Ra
- scuba dive (I'm an advanced open water diver!)
- play the piano and drums
- visit public libraries
Come say hi! :)
