Anyone who wants to know how I wound up in data analytics and where I'm taking it next, I lay it all out here in an interview with @VizWizBI Thanks to @HIHngo for giving me a place to get started on this path! #datafam
Today I chat with @collinalldata who will be leading recruiting at @dataschoolNY and teaching our consultants, supporting Data Schoolers on placements, etc. Collin was a member of DS17 at @dataschooluk before joining team NY.

.@NYSA_Majority,@CarlHeastie I'm proud my church community is part of the 13th Forward coalition. We must end prison slavery and the exploitation of incarcerated New Yorkers. Pass The No Slavery in NY Act (S.225B/A.3412B) and fight for workers' rights bit.ly/3LWoHvs

Say hello to our newest cohort, DSNY3! 👋
We're super excited to have welcomed our newest consultants to The Data School New York and we can't wait to see how they progress over the next few months of training.
Thanks to @YadTheTabLad for his fantastic photography!
Often, good design is more about what you can remove rather than what you can add. @letzznotHangouT does a great job of demonstrating that in his most recent blog here: thedataschool.co.uk/hang-che…
So proud of @IsieDera for making it into this list! Incredible progress for just one year of doing data viz!

On Monday, the first day of Dashboard Week with #DSNY2 & @collinalldata @dataschoolNY, I designed an accessible dashboard.♿
Try screen reading or keyboard navigating the dashboard here: public.tableau.com/app/profi…
Yesterday was accessibility day @dataschoolNY. Love @ly_kinley's blog, which gives a great overview of #a11y considerations for dashboards AND throws in a cool trick for keeping zoom level consistent when filtering maps in @tableau to reduce cognitive load til.bi/3WAardR
I hesitate to retweet this because I want it to be my own special secret sauce, but it's too good not to share with everyone!
