Alisha Dhillon

Alisha graduated with a Criminal Justice and Criminology, and a law degree from the University of Kent and Law. Realising that she didn’t just want any career, but more so one in which she would have the opportunity to be challenged, constantly be learning and gain new skills, she applied to the Data School. She began visualizing topics familiar to her as a Criminal Justice student and quickly realized how powerful Tableau was as a tool. Combining this with her passion for working with others, she knew that the Data School would provide her exactly what she was after. Outside of work, Alisha enjoys travelling and keeping fit by running.
