Background: From Sociology with Criminology to Data Analytics 

My academic journey began at the University of York, where I studied Sociology and Criminology but my curiosity soon led me to the world of data and coding. During lockdown, I dove into online courses, eventually completing a coding bootcamp that opened the door to a career in tech. 
I started as a Technical Consultant at a fintech company, where I discovered my passion for everything data analytics. But another love persisted: teaching. After leading online bootcamps, I combined these interests and transitioned into my current role as a Data Analyst Tutor, helping others unlock their potential in this fast-growing field. 

Current Role: Empowering the Next Generation of Data Analysts 

Today, I guide students through the Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship, teaching sessions and supporting them as they navigate the world of data. But beyond the classroom, I noticed a gap: tech remains a male-dominated space. That realisation sparked Project Womxn a platform to amplify women’s voices in project controls and data, showcasing their skills and fostering community. 

Hobbies: Teaching, Crochet, and Food Adventures

When I’m not teaching data analytics, you’ll likely find me: 
• Tutoring GCSE/A-Level students or teaching children at Sunday school at my local church. 
• Rewatching The Office or Gilmore Girls (for the 100th time!) while learning to crochet. 
• Exploring London’s food scene and sharing my finds on Instagram. 
My passion for mentorship extends further: as a STEM Ambassador, I visit schools to inspire students especially young women to pursue tech careers. I also volunteer with Next Tech Girls as a Role Model, encouraging sixth formers to embrace data and AI with confidence. 

The Heart of It All: Project Womxn

All these experiences fuelled Project:Womxn, an initiative close to my heart. It’s more than a platform—it’s a movement to empower women in tech, challenge stereotypes, and create a space where their contributions shine. Whether through teaching, advocacy, or community building, my goal is the same: to make tech more inclusive, one step at a time.

If you're passionate about creating change in data, tech, or project delivery—and want to be part of shaping what comes next—we’d love to hear from you.

Join the Project:Womxn steering group and help us build a stronger, more inclusive future.
