About Me

Since graduating with a BSc (hons) in Business Studies and Psychology in 2010, I have been lucky enough to travel a lot of the world whilst working in a number of interesting roles, volunteering, exploring, and learning as I go. Working as a driver guide in Scotland upon my return kept my curious and adventurous mind busy - it was wonderful to share my knowledge with passengers from every country of the world as I led them around my own.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I worked in a care home, completed a masters degree at the University of Edinburgh in Psychology of Mental Health, achieving a distinction, and joined taster sessions in software development. This sparked my excitement for the tech industry and I enrolled in SheCodes workshops where we mostly work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After speaking with friends in the industry however, I also discovered an interest for data analysis.

I now hold a Professional Development Award in Data Science (SCQF Level 8) having completed an incredibly interesting (and fun!) 14 week intensive course with CodeClan in Edinburgh, Scotland. Working mostly in RStudio, we learned to clean datasets, analyse them in a number of ways, and present our findings on dashboards and during presentations. I gained further experience of working with SQL and Python and am excited for what the future may hold for me.
