I’ve always had a difficult time figuring out what I should be doing for a living. Trial and error is one way to find a job that suits you, but it is not always the quickest or easiest route.?As it turns out the clues to finding a job that suited me were all around, I just had to look. When I put everything together it was obvious that I would enjoy working with visualizations. For me, the signs were literally all around. Maps hang on several walls in my home. I have always loved looking at maps starting from an early age. I didn’t matter where the location was. It's always fascinating for me to discover a new place and learn about it just from a well put together picture. Intricate details and information carefully placed in just the right locations drawing you in to find out more. Photos that I have taken also hang on many walls as well. I enjoy taking snapshots of beautiful places to show others my love of nature. Not wanting to stand pat, I took my photography to another level when I bought a drone to see from a bird’s eye view. Viewing is all about perspective and it was an amazing new way to view the world from above. I was even inspired to create a video. I certainly enjoyed making the below video near my home. What inspired you to learn data analytics and visualization?

1 年Nice video! You live in a beautiful area. I have always liked doing puzzles, solving problems, and researching. I also like creative mediums such as art and photography. I think all of that comes together well in data analysis and visualization.
