About Me

Who Am I?

Hi! I'm Rebecca Driever, but Becca is fine. I've always had a passion for music, sports, and social justice, and been intrigued by the various insights data in those sectors can provide. My life and experiences have shaped my interests and passions, so this website is a little insight into all of the above.

My life has come to reflect a famous Tennessee Williams quote: "America has 3 cities - New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." I grew up in upstate NY, completed my Bachelors in New Orleans (my mom is from NOLA too), then earned my Master's Degree and am currently living in San Francisco.
