Audrey Carlsen

Several lifetimes ago, Audrey quit medical school and stumbled into journalism. She has reported, designed and developed visual stories for The Seattle Times, The New York Times and NPR, and is currently working as a data visualization developer at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Colleagues have described Audrey as "aggressively collaborative," "a little bit crazy" and "not entirely hopeless."

She is currently based in Seattle and hopes to one day live in a very small house with a very large bathtub.
