Alice came from a Hospitality background, first seriously exploring her love of research and analytics when doing her dissertation. She developed the belief that analysis is fundamental to informed decision making, by understanding data and the insights it gives.

Her passion combined with the amount that data can offer a company, outlined the path she was hoping to carve for her career. She came across Tableau at a meet and greet at the Information Lab, where the enthusiasm of the team and the impressive capabilities of the software drove her to apply for DS17.

When she is not using Tableau Alice can be found learning new languages, or unwinding at karaoke.”
