My journey into data hasn't been a straight line, and I like it that way. I spent several years working as a Support Worker 🩺, supporting children, young people, and vulnerable adults across residential, complex care, and community settings. That work taught me how to observe closely, keep accurate records, track outcomes over time, and communicate clearly with families and professionals — skills I didn't know at the time would become the foundation for a career in data.

From there, I completed a Project Manager Bootcamp 📋 with Tritek Consulting, where I led a team of 25, managed stakeholders, and worked across Agile and Waterfall delivery. That experience sparked a genuine curiosity about the data behind every decision I was helping to track — which led me straight into a Level 3 Data Technician Bootcamp 📊 with Just IT Training, where I built hands-on skills in SQL, Power BI, Python, Tableau, and Excel 🗄️📈🐍.
