Joanna is the Executive Editor of Real Python. She loves natural languages just as much as she loves programming languages!
Her love for puzzles, patterns, and pesky little details led her to follow a career in translation. It was only a matter of time before she would fall in love with a new language: Python!
She is a fiend for information and loves to compile and condense it in a way that meets the needs of the target audience.
When she isn’t at her desk, she enjoys exploring the beautiful city of Vancouver on foot, laughing with her pub trivia team, and experimenting with seitan recipes.
