Fun fact about me, aside from math and coding, I love art! Going into undergrad, I wanted to major in art, but soon realized my passion for math. I ultimately made the decision to pursue mathematics, but was torn that I had to part from the arts.
Going into my masters, I realized that I loved creating dashboards because even though it is was about transforming and analyzing data, it was also about aesthetics and designing - art!
As I create dashboards, not only do I want to convey the data effectively, but also in a visually striking manner that stakeholders will appreciate and admire.
