Developed a data sharing platform between the County of Orange Social Services and Health Care Agencies, Orange County Probation and Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Departments. This system integrates existing data between the agencies to better address the needs of vulnerable populations.

Created an online story map that presented the relationship between substance abuse, opioid deaths and substantiated child abuse (both by zip code), with high prevalence (“hot spots”) of both factors found in Anaheim, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa.

Analyzed and mapped child and population data such as poverty, health insurance, language of choice and existing resources to provide an in-depth look at resources needed in the cities of Santa Ana and Anaheim.
