Experience

Sabrina Karl loves telling – and especially showing – stories that are conveyed with numbers. Whether it’s data on the nation’s credit card debt or the financial struggles faced by seniors, millennials or anyone in between, Sabrina combines an analytical mindset, serious Excel chops and graphic design skills to turn data into easy-to-digest visualizations. Combined with her personal finance expertise, she is able to sift through the results of large studies and surveys to pinpoint the most salient credit card-related findings and create graphics that convey compelling data story angles.

“Learning how to make the most of my money has been a passion since opening my first retirement account just after graduating college. It was much later, in a second career, that I discovered my love for turning numbers into visual stories. At CreditCards.com, I bring both of those aptitudes together, striving always to spotlight current personal finance research in the most accessible ways possible.” – Sabrina Karl
