Learner Persona

As part of the RStudio Instructor teaching exam we create a learner persona.

Sergio leads the reporting of trade statistics on his team and regularly works with time series data. His group produces quarterly reports with summary statistics and line graphs. His country’s main trading partners including the CARICOM member states and other countries in the Americas. Compiling data from other members states can be challenging at times as they span 5 different time zones. He sometimes gets requests to change his times into Atlantic Standard Time (used by St Lucia) or Eastern Standard Time (used by Jamaica) to be consistent with the majority of member states.
