JEAN SPENCER: A SHORT HISTORY
JOURNALISM + PSYCHOLOGY + ENTERPRISE + DATA SCIENCE
Like most Millennials I grew up with a computer in the 1990s, had Facebook before entering college, and knew how to build a webpage by the time I was 18. Later, I took a different path. In college I studied traditional journalism and psychology; began understanding powerful story telling and the psyche behind which we understand stories. This gave me a rich background to understand how peoples’ stories are best communicated.
