I'm a creative that ventured into the data world and never left. Overly passionate about people, data, and anything that will allow creative expression. Fascinated by the intersection of emotional intelligence and one's ability to influence behavior by telling stories. Currently geeked out on unconventional ways for humans to collaborate around data... hence why I'm excited to join Count.
