Have you always desired to be a data journalist or did you have another route in mind? If so, how did you learn to adjust when first starting data journalism? What are some surprising ways your skill set of coding, graphic design, data journalism, photoshop, etc. have helped you in other areas of your life?

Tell us about a time you messed up when coding or displaying data (if there was a time), and what you did to recover it so that we can know what to do in these times.
