Hi!
Hello, I am Vu Le. People also call me Violet. Recently, I am a graduate at the University of Arizona, double majoring in Accounting & MIS with a passion for Marketing. I was born and raised in Vietnam but decided to become an international student as an age of 12.

Tableau Visualization
2022
I am an economic research analyst trying to understand how much impact a starting salary will have on mid-career salary. I find data gathered by the Wall Street Journal on 153 state schools that measures both the median starting salary of those schools’ graduates and the median mid-career salary of those graduates.
I will run different types of non-linear regressions to see which model is the best fit and see what it says about the effect of starting salary on mid-career salary.

CONSULTING PROJECT
Working as a wonderful team of 6, we have successfully given strategic marketing analysis to our client, the University of Arizona Bookstores, to better reaching the UA students about the new pay-one-price model.
As a valuable team member, I went above and beyond to be in charge of the team's visual designs such as the slides, posters, and proofreads. To the right is a snapshot of the slides and poster.
Background/ Scope
Ensuring that course materials and textbook are affordable for students is important to the UA Bookstores and the University of Arizona.
The UA Bookstores is working on a model which will allow
students to pay-one-price for all of their course material needs. This program will greatly benefit all students at the university.
Eller student consultants will recommend effective communication channels, messages, and storytelling to reach University of Arizona students to educate and promote the pay-one-price model (2022).
