I’m Kaitlyn, a senior Public Policy and Law major from the small city of Waterbury, CT. I am interested in a variety of social justice issues, such as poverty and food insecurity, as well as the intersectionality of these issues. In my four years at Trinity, I have been very involved in policy research and working with Hartford nonprofit organizations, such as the Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association and Hartford Food System.
In this data visualization course, I am working with Mike Walsh ’19 and Martha Page, the Executive Director of Hartford Food System. HFS is an organization that strives to improve access to healthy and affordable food in Hartford. Mike and I will be creating an interactive map that demonstrates food access by including the location of various types of food stores and public transportation routes.
