Previously, Amihere worked in data, interactive design and news apps for LAist, The Dallas Morning News, Pew Research Center and The Baltimore Sun. She owns Code Black Media, a digital media and data consultancy.
Amihere has taught data journalism and interaction design for more than a decade, including positions with USC and, most recently, UC Berkeley.
