Me as an NBA journalist
I took a five-year "gap" to be an NBA journalist. Growing up in China as a basketball player and an avid fan, I've always dreamed of becoming an NBA player. Well, that dream fell short (pun intended) so I found an alternative route to connect myself with my favorite sport. At first, my intention was just to watch games in person for free but the work evolved into something more significant -- I managed to produce some content I take pride in, and more importantly, my interest in basketball analytics unexpectedly steered me towards discovering my passion for data visualization.
