At Cavender, I’ve been working with Mr. Jeremy, my mentor, on projects that have taught me skills I know will be valuable in my future career. One of the biggest highlights has been learning Power BI to analyze and visualize data effectively. This has helped me understand how businesses use data to make better decisions and track performance. I also worked on creating a glossary of terms, which deepened my understanding of industry-specific concepts. I’ve gained hands-on experience with tools and ideas that will be essential as I pursue my computer science and data analytics career. You can find more details about my work in the mentor journals attached at the bottom of the page!

My Project and Design
When presenting advertisement revenue or sales data to clients, the sheer volume of numbers can make it challenging to convey the information clearly and effectively
Develop data visualizations using a tool that allows for easy adjustments to individual data points when errors are identified, eliminating the need to recreate the entire chart
The primary tool I am using is Power BI for building the login system and main database. Additionally, Excel and Microsoft Office, along with their add-ons, will support further development and analysis
