ABOUT ME ~ I LOVE ART & MATH! I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT DATA VISUALIZATION & PATTERN RECOGNITION.
MY GOAL IS TO ALWAYS CONTINUE TO LEARN AND USE DATA TO FIND SOLUTIONS AND SOLVE PROBLEMS.
This was an assigned group project using an avocado dataset~ we used Tableau, Python, & R to explore the data
Initially, everyone in my group held the assumption that avocados were seasonal. But the data showed there wasn't the expected seasonal shortage of avocados, leading to our discovery avocados grow all year in "Lavacados" Michoacán, Mexico.
The data showed organic avocado sales are increasing in our three chosen cities: Chicago, IL., Columbus, OH., & Tampa, FL.
Chicago is a great market to sell avocados.
The avocado market & Mexican economy are vulnerable with 71% of all avocados in the U.S. being grown in one area of Mexico (known as "Lavacados") that is smaller than the state of West Virginia.
Here I used Tableau to explore how to lessen fatal traffic accidents.
Interestingly, there were no fatal accidents on toll roads in this Texan traffic dataset.
