I am a Senior Data Analyst at Grayce, but I have only started my career in data 16 months ago.
I come from a non-technical background, and after graduating with a BSc in Psychology and a MSc Research Methods in Psychology, I decided to take a leap of faith and switch my career into data. From there, I began a journey of hard work and determination to upskill in technical areas and navigate the ever-changing world of data and technology.
My core responsibilities lie in delivering excellence for my client, and utilising my technical and soft skills to help my clients make data-driven business decisions. Currently, I am working in the legal industry for a Magic Circle law firm, supporting on an industry-leading innovative programme of firm-wide scale.
Outside of core client commitments, I’m a Lead for the Digital Community of Practice, a mentor across several schemes, a co-host of monthly Data community calls, and a committee member for a Skills Club designed to promote technical skill development through practical projects. I also helped organise a week-long digital festival, with external speakers and live coding demonstrations, to promote knowledge exchange within the company.
In my spare time, I’m a Trainee Instructor for Code First Girls, a Medium writer and author of ‘From A to SQL’ series, and take part in projects and events that promote the visibility of role models in data and technology. My overarching aim is to continue to inspire women to pursue careers in data and technology.
