Amalia holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Industrial engineering from The Higher Technical School of Engineering (ETSI) in Seville, Spain.

After finishing her studies she was trying to find the perfect career path when she was introduced to Tableau by a friend. She decided she wanted to learn more about it and to improve her skills with the software.

Whilst looking for a Tableau tutorial, Amalia found the Data School blog and immediately became interested in the program.

She is responsible, hard-working, and enjoys learning new things.

She loves travelling and discovering new places, socialising, fashion and interior design.

A quote she really likes:

“Without effort, your talent is nothing more than your unmet potential. With effort, talent becomes skill.” Angela Duckworth
