Maha Hussari

Maha graduated with a Bachelors in Medical Genetics from Queen Mary University in 2019. Since then, Maha has been through a variety of different industries that had led her into The Data School.

After being at the Data School for over a year, Maha has spent that time working closely with Aon and spent much of her time building commercial reports in Tableau Desktop, as well as using Tableau Server to host dashboards and manage content & user permissions. At her time in Aon, she built her strong interpersonal relationships and consulting skills, ranging from stakeholder engagement to user enablement.

During Mahas time in The Data School, she has found her spark in teaching others about data which lead to the creation of the DataWithMaha Youtube channel to help inspiring data analysts in areas such as Tableau and Alteryx and will be looking to expand into PowerBi, Snowflake and many more.
