Hi Hannah! I really enjoyed reading your data identity statement. It's pretty cool that you are able to find your profiles and at least somewhat accurate information about yourself just by searching your name. It was really interesting to read about the error your high school made about track stats that still shows up from a search. I also really liked the insight you provided about your life and online footprint versus that of a celebrity - it's easy to glorify fame but you make a really good point that famous people have so little control over what is published about them online. The questions you provided at the end of your statement were very interesting - maybe you could speak to those points further in your piece. It also might be a good idea to add captions to the images you've included in your piece to connect them directly to the points you make in your writing. Overall this was a really interesting read! Your writing style was casual and very easy to digest, and your sections flowed logically.

Hey Hannah! This was a super interesting data identity statement to read -- I particularly enjoyed your commentary about how we can control the images of us online to some degree, and that we are blessed to have privacy online to a certain extent compared to celebrities. I think one thing that could make your piece stronger is including captions in the photos you chose to include to make their relevance clearer. You also mention that Google sees a romanticized/glorified version of you -- I think it'd be interesting to explore which parts of your identity online are "real" and how multi-faceted identity can be.
