As the data analyst for the most sucessful post-secondary volleyball team in Canada, I have personally developed over 200 gameplans and 20 unique spreadsheets to display volleyball data both in-match and when scouting another team. This helped hone my skills for creating UI’s and refining it for better UX, culminating in an internship with the governing body of volleyball, FIVB, to continue my work. One example is pictured below, but please take a look my extensive portfolio at the link below!
