My name is Mike Walsh and I am from Longmeadow, Massachusetts. I am a freshman at Trinity College and I plan to major in Public Policy, however I’m also very interested in statistics and data visualization. I am part of the Ski team at Trinity and work at one of the on-campus coffee shops.
For this project, I will be working with fellow student Kaitlyn Sprague and Martha Page, Executive Director of the Hartford Food System. The Hartford Food System (HFS) creates programs in the greater Hartford area that facilitate access to nutritious foods in order to reach their goal of making a sustainable food system that meets Hartford’s needs. During this semester, Kaitlyn and I will be creating a layered, interactive map that shows food access in Hartford. This will include the location of different types of food stores in the community, as well as transportation routes to these food stores.
