I can dig my hands right into data, for a number of different contexts, to better understand and visualize a specific project.\u00a0It is easy for errors to arise when doing analysis thus I have learned to be patient and pay close attention to details.

Not only do I understand the importance of data ethics, but I can also visualize data in appropriate and creative ways.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to apply these practical skills to inspect and understand the evolving changes in our world and continue to grow them with time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-121 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-e1490829548859.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-e1490829548859.jpg 512w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jhakhepburn\/files\/2016\/04\/cropped-IMG_1358-e1460495481369-2-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em>Photo by Jessica Hak Hepburn<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am fascinated by how our world operates, both naturally and socially.
