Our Team

MacKenzie

MacKenzie handles the majority of the behind-the-scenes work associated with our data collection. She glues clickers to boards, coordinates with the Alameda Post, and arbitrates categorization disputes among the other analysts. In addition to creating the pie charts, MacKenzie writes the narrative summaries of our data. She is grateful to her fellow analysts for tolerating her unapologetic type-A shenanigans each year.

Drac

In addition to data collection duties, Drac ensures the front yard is set up to funnel trick-or-treaters towards and away from the home in an orderly fashion.

Witchy

Witchy manages the outreach and engagement duties for the team. She encourages young and shy candy seekers to approach the home.

Francis

Francis can often be seen behind the candy bowl, negotiating with candy seekers.

Acorn

Acorn is not going to permit you to see into the candy bowl to negotiate.

Laura

Laura is a champion for dinosaurs everywhere, from tyrannosaurus rex to buteo jamaicensis to fallus domesticus.

Jen

Michael
