Emily Leff

I’m a data visualization practitioner with an M.S. in Information Design & Data Visualization from Northeastern University. I currently work as a Research and Data Communications Associate at Opportunity Insights, where I leverage my data visualization and design skills to translate our big-data research findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Before that, I was the Data & Research Content Lead for SEO at Insurify, a Boston-based insurtech startup. I’ve been featured on NPR‘s All Things Considered, Yahoo Finance, Money.com, and more. In my free time, I love running, rollerblading, volunteering, and playing guitar.

Data visualization has the power to turn thousands of scattered data points into a single, clear story that resonates across audiences. I use data to surface the stories we need for a better future, and I’m committed to making those stories both meaningful and truly accessible to the people they’re meant to serve.
