I am super excited (and tired (it's 3:09 AM)) to be diving further into the boundless world of Data Science. One of my best friends was in town a few days ago and he introduced me to Tableau. A couple of days later, I had a fully licensed copy installed on my machine. Two days after that, I got to attend a roundtable discussion at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas. I was surrounded by a small group of community leaders in Data Science. The cities of Plano and Dallas had representatives there, as well as a variety of Data Scientists from a broad range of companies. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to attend other such events.
I have spent the last several hours pouring over datasets and doing my best to produce something meaningful, all while telling a story.
I have since created two original data visualizations. One shows male and female life expectancies around the world. The other shows Internet usage by country.
In February of 2018, I was denied admission to a Ph.D. program in Linguistics. As I was navigating the application process, I simultaneously revisited a dormant interest in computer science. In March I enrolled in a certified Computer Science class via HarvardX, which I completed four months later. I am at the beginning of a new phase in my life-long learning process and look forward to that which the future will inevitably deliver.

Tableau/Prep
As I continue my journey, things continue to fall into place. For example, I was just granted a one-year research and education license of both Tableau and Tableau Prep!!! I cannot wait to grab a dataset and dive into the next chapter of my data science life.
