Xavier graduated from Stanford in 2023 with a degree in economics. As an undergraduate, he wrote about the high phone call costs faced by U.S. inmates, temporary Mexican workers’ interactions with the labor market and the efficacy of government healthcare assistance programs. A lifelong lover of charts and maps, he's excited to combine data journalism with narrative-style reporting during his time in the MA program. In his free time, Xavier enjoys taking road trips through the American West, eating apples and bartending.
