Jacquelyn Elias
Jacquelyn Elias has been a news applications developer for The Chronicle of Higher Education since 2018. She splits her time between wrestling with messy data and building data visualizations and news applications.
Born and raised in Dallas, Jacquelyn graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2018 with a B.A. in computer science, journalism, and creative computation. What started as indecisiveness in choosing between coding and journalism turned into a career pursuing storytelling with data, code, and graphics. She learned to put those skills to use through data internships at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Dallas Morning News.
She is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors. When not talking data, she can also regularly be found with homemade baked goods to share (or not).
