Before joining the Data school, Bethan obtained an integrated masters in Physics from the University of Bristol, and continued on to be a Physics technician in a college.
Doing a physics degree embedded her love for maths and numbers, however her interest in algorithms and data began when she started learning to crochet and knit.
She learnt to write her own algorithms in order to make pattern designing easier, and was constantly looking for data sources on body measurements to try and streamline pattern design to be customizable to any body type.
Bethan knew little about data visualisation prior to the application for the data school, but in the application process discovered a true taste for data visualisation and how it could answer such a wide range of questions.
