Data Visualization Projects
DataVizPortfolio.pdfLGB Experience in New York and Access to Healthcare in Puerto Rico
Data visualization portfolio that was created in R by analyzing data from Project STRIDE and explore the intersections between demographic factors, sexual identity, discrimination, stigma, social support and mental health among a sample of straight and Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) identifying individuals. Additional data was analyzed from this study in Tableau to explore psychological well-being, self-esteem, and social support from the sample.
Using QGIS, a map was created to illustrate access to healthcare centers and hospitals in Puerto Rico in 2009. This map was created to illustrate pre-existing deficiencies in geographical access to healthcare given that most of the deaths attributed to Hurricane Maria in 2017 were the result of delays in medical care and the damaged healthcare infrastructure.
