Jocelyn has been involved in some form of content creation since graduating with a journalism degree in 1999. With various stints at A&E publications, she eventually helmed rock magazine institution Crawdaddy! as the Editor-in-Chief.

Today, when not building content around the fascinating world of graphs, she likes to cook healthy, delicious food, play music, annoy her cats, and watch bad TV or great movies with her fiance.
