Bio for Data Visualization
My name is Stefania Ruibal and I am a freshman at Trinity College. I am thinking of majoring in psychology and education studies. I wanted to participate in this seminar to further my skills in analyzing data and creating interactive maps and graphs. I am excited to help the Girl Scouts create a way to understand better partnership potential within Connecticut. The Girl Scouts of Connecticut are connected to many different organizations within the state and want to be able to have an even greater outreach. Having an interactive website will help the Girl Scouts create more potential partners and help them find parts of Connecticut they are not already reaching.

My partnership with CT Landmarks
I am Shuxin(Amy) Zhang from Tianjin, China. I am a freshman at Trinity College. I plan to major in Asian Studies & Computer Science at Trinity. I hope to find a way to incorporate researches and technology together, and I believe my project on data visualization can help me on my way.
I will be working with Laura from CT Landmarks on an interactive map tour. I will be visualizing and digitalizing archives, artifacts and hand-written journals, which were previously owned by a world traveller over 100 years ago. My goal is to re-create his tour around the world, and add the data(e.g. 3d models of the attractions he toured, the pictures of artifacts he collected through the way, and all the pictures and journals he created along his journey) to the route, so that every pinpoint on the route has all the associated profile with it, and all information can be incorporated together in an interactive and fun way.
My Half of the Partnership with the Hartford Food System
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.
