Handling data at university became commonplace for Sophie while completing her Bachelor’s degree in Criminology with Psychology, achieving a 1st at the University of Portsmouth. In particular, her dissertation project fuelled her curiosity for interpreting unique datasets and uncovering a story that could be told.
After realising that handling data could be enjoyable, creative, and itched her desire to problem solve, she got stuck into learning Tableau. Tableau was able to tell a story in a more impressive manner than her dissertation ever could. She then found herself applying for the Data School where her skills could grow.
During her time she has explored the capabilities of Tableau, Alteryx, and PowerBI and put her skills into practice in her first placement at PwC as a Data Analytics Trainer. She has loved every opportunity to problem solve, support, train and analyse along her Data School journey and looks forward to the next stage of her learning.
