Ellie’s academic background is in geography culminating in a master in meteorology. Like any keen geographer she loves a good map, so naturally gravitates towards spatial data.
She has always been a numbers person, whether that be at her first job analysing weather models for the Met Office or more recently working with customer insights as a market researcher. She loved the analytical part of the roles and was enlightened by the impact data can have for an organisation. However, she felt limited by the more traditional tools used and thought there must be a better way to work with data.
In her spare time Ellie loves cooking, art and travelling, as well as playing tag rugby and running. She has recently completed her first half marathon race!
The Data School is the perfect opportunity for Ellie to bring together her personal love for art and design with the career aspects that have captivated her so far.
