Allegheny Map

The interactive web map demonstrates a correlation between older homes and higher cases of elevated blood lead levels in children. Specifically, areas with a higher concentration of red and yellow shading, which represent neighborhoods with homes built in or before the 1940s and up to 1955 respectively, display a greater number of individual dots signifying affected children. This visual representation indicates that older homes are more likely to have lead-related health risks, allowing pediatricians and public health officials to target their lead screening initiatives in these communities.

Green Earth Trail Map
Green Earth's Preserves Map

During my college internship with Green Earth, I played a key role in creating a detailed map of the organization's trail system. By utilizing GIS software and data collected from fieldwork, I was able to produce an accurate representation of the trails that provided valuable information to the organization.
