About me

I am a Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) student at Carnegie Mellon University, bringing a background in IT and project management to the intersection of technology and data. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with project-based KPIs — tracking, analyzing, and reporting performance metrics to drive informed decision-making. At CMU, I am building on that foundation by expanding my technical expertise and learning how to transform the kind of data I have always worked with into compelling, well-designed visualizations that tell a clear story.

What I hope to learn

From this course, I am looking to sharpen my ability to communicate data with clarity and impact:

  1. Color theory in data visualization — understanding how color choices guide attention and shape interpretation
  2. Human behavior when reading visualizations — learning how audiences naturally process and respond to visual information
  3. Creative approaches to data storytelling — discovering innovative ways to present data that go beyond charts and convey a compelling narrative

Assignment: Visualizing Government Debt

For this assignment, make sure you set up and link to a new page. This page is linking to a new Markdown document called visualizing-government-debt.md. For links to Markdown files in your repository, you can just include the name of the page without the .md extension. Visualizing Gov Debt

Assignment 3&4: Critique by Design

For this assignment, make sure you set up and link to a new page. This page is linking to a new Markdown document called critique-by-design.md.

Final project

Here it might be helpful to include a high-level description of your final project. Part I Part II Part III(final-project-part-three)

Setting up a separate page

So here’s the code you’ll need to add to your own site to create a second page.

  1. First, create a new page in your repository (for example, dataviz1.md)
  2. Next, add a link to that page by inserting the following into your readme.md page:

[title](dataviz) or [dataviz](https://cmustudent.github.io/portfolio/dataviz.html) or [CMU](https://www.cmu.edu)

Any of those formats will work. Here’s some examples of working links:

[title](dataviz) = title
[dataviz](https://cmustudent.github.io/portfolio/dataviz.html) = dataviz
[CMU](https://www.cmu.edu) = CMU

Make sure to check these from your publicly accessible URL to make sure they’re working correctly (not from the preview tab).
