Walk me through the steps you typically take during a data analysis project.

"With any project, I always start by determining what the objectives are and what my manager needs from me. This helps me to decide what data sources will provide the information I need. I look for reliable and verified sources, and then I work on obtaining the data. Once I have it, I check it out, clean it, put it into an organized format, and then validate it. At this point, it's time to mine the data or, in other words, look for patterns and correlations within it. Finally, I create a report and/or present my findings to my manager."
