Molly developed a strong interest in analysing and working with data during her time at university where she studied Business and Management. After graduating she started working for a global skincare company where she learnt first hand how data can be used to increase revenue and solve problems within a business.

When she discovered the Data School and was introduced to Tableau, Molly was impressed with how powerful and effective the software was in analysing and visualising data and was eager to learn more. She quickly realised that data analytics was the career path that she wanted to pursue.

The main take away from Day 1 was that I need to plan my time better so I started the day with a plan. The focus today is visual design and analysis – creating something that is engaging to our audience. Andy gave us some good advice for how to approach a large data-set and how to set your scope
