Laura Kurtzberg

Hi, I'm a data journalist, information designer and cartographer. I make interactive maps, data visualizations, and web applications for news and storytelling. I often work closely with scientists and other journalists to create stories with an environmental focus. My work has been published on Ambiental Media, InfoAmazonia, and Mongabay.

I work as a Training Director with Investigative Reporters and Editors to teach journalists how to use data analysis, code, and spreadsheet techniques in their investigations.

I am also an Adjunct Professor of Practice at Florida International University's School of Journalism & Media in Miami, FL, where I teach courses on data visualization and technology.
