I write about how New York City actually works, and how it could work better. Through a mix of data analysis, policy research, and my own on-the-ground observation, I explore the city’s infrastructure, development, and governance from the perspective of someone who lives in it and contributes to its governance (as a member of Manhattan Community Board 3). Whether it’s a community board debate over a street redesign, the rollout of a new transit policy, or the small victories of public space done right, I aim to connect the dots between local politics, data, and lived experience.
NYCuriosity is a place for readers who believe that good policy starts with good information. I draw on open data, public records, and my own background in economic research and data science to make complex urban issues accessible and to show how any citizen can engage with them. My goal is to make civic processes visible, demystify how decisions get made, and spotlight the people and ideas shaping a more livable New York.
If you care about how streets are designed, how communities organize, and how local government responds, this publication is for you. Subscribe to get thoughtful, data-informed stories about the city we share, and the one we’re still building.
About Me
I am a data scientist and researcher with a history of applying data analytics to economic research, policy analysis, and data-driven articles. I live in the Lower East Side of NYC and am a member of Manhattan Community Board 3, sitting on the Parks Committee. I am also currently an MPA student at NYU Wagner, where I am studying public policy analysis and deepening my knowledge of civic technology.
