An excerpt of my group's final presentation for I S 445!

The topic of this presentation may confuse you, especially if you have ventured through my previous quarters' artifacts and know about my general mood towards finance. HOWEVER, this project ended up being on of my favorites that I've done so far!

I S 445 was all about learning SQL, which is definitely one of my favorite languages, probably even beating out python.

For this final project, our group looked at Netflix's stock performance over the years and compared it to various other variables.

My favorite application was the impact of social justice/equality centered films on the stock price.

Through some data analysis, we were able to detect that stock prices spiked not when Netflix announced their initiative, but rather when they set them in motion and lived up to its word.

Being able to relate my passion for data analytics with social justice movements and ideas was incredibly enjoyable.. it almost felt like a mini Honors course I made for myself! 

Additionally, it was through this project that I realized the application of finance can take on many forms - it isn't necessarily limited to the concept and theory posed in FIN 350. Gaining the opportunity to explore it through a social justice lens inspired me to rethink my initial assumptions about whether or not this particular concentration would be for me.
