About me

Hello! My name is Halie Smith, my pronouns are she/her, and I am a second-year Master of Arts Management student at Carnegie Mellon University. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, I am committed to amplifying the performing arts in the region and increasing the accessibility for patrons to experience the joys of live entertainment. Outside of school, internship, and working at the box office, you can find me at a concert, a Steelers game, or on a walk with my dogs.

What I hope to learn

As a storyteller by trade, earning my undergraduate degree in Strategic Public Relations from Duquesne University, I am eager to use my way with words coupled with understanding of data visualizations to continue to shape positive, impactful narratives about the performing arts in the greater Pittsburgh region. I hope to remove the negative biases and insecurities I have with data, math, displaying charts, etc. from previous courses and gain confidence in telling stories with data.

Portfolio

This is my public portfolio for Telling Stories with Data at CMU! Here’s where all my cool work will go. You should probably hire me.

TSWD-portfolio-templates

These portfolio templates are for setting up your Telling Stories with Data site. Edit these pages and add new ones as needed.
It’s always helpful to keep track of your web URL. Consider putting that somewhere on your page for easy reference:

• Web page URL: https://halies-glitch.github.io/halie-smith-portfolio/
• This repository: https://github.com/halies-glitch/halie-smith-portfolio

Examples

You can keep this section for stuff from in-class demos or your other work, or remove it.

Assignment: [Visualizing Government Debt]

Final project

Here it might be helpful to include a high-level description of your final project. Part I Part II Part III(final-project-part-three)

---

Other stuff you can do (you can remove this section - it’s just for your reference.)

Changing text

You can change text, like this:

Here’s some bold text. Here’s some italic text. Here’s some strikethrough text.

Creating tables

You can build tables like this:

Name	Type of pet	Favority activity 1	FA 2	FA 3	FA 4
Eli	cat	Sleeping	Eating	Being pet	Plotting to overthow dog empire
Howard	dog	You	You	You	Eating
Frankenstein	fish	Swimming	Eating	Blowing bubbles	Forgetting

An easy-to-use template generator tool can be found here

You can use different headings, like this:

Here’s a large title (H1)

Here’s a subtitle (H2)

…and so on (H3)

You get the idea - just don’t forget the space between the # and your title. #Title won’t work, but # Title will.

Adding images

Here’s an example of how to add an image to my portfolio.

Alternately, you can set the size of the image using just a bit of HTML:

Remember that you’ll need to upload the image into your repository, or include a link to the image somewhere else.

Setting up a separate page

So here’s the code you’ll need to add to your own site to create a second page.

1. First, create a new page in your repository (for example, dataviz1.md)
2. Next, add a link to that page by inserting the following into your readme.md page:

[title](dataviz) or [dataviz](https://cmustudent.github.io/portfolio/dataviz.html) or [CMU](https://www.cmu.edu)

Any of those formats will work. Here’s some examples of working links:

[title](dataviz) = title
[dataviz](https://cmustudent.github.io/portfolio/dataviz.html) = dataviz
[CMU](https://www.cmu.edu) = CMU

Make sure to check these from your publicly accessible URL to make sure they’re working correctly (not from the preview tab).
