Romina Wiechern

Romina studied social sciences, social research and sociology. Since she did empirical work during her studies, she wanted to present her data nicely. That's how she came to Data School (TIL). The ability to present data in a way that people can understand and thus share insights is what excites her about data work and visualisation. Outside of work, she enjoys solving riddles in exit games or trying to get out of escape rooms.
