Why did you decide on a career in data?
I started considering statistics as a viable career option after finishing my undergraduate degree in Applied Maths and Astronomy, so I undertook an MSc in Applied Statistics. Shortly after starting I joined what is now Public Health Scotland as a statistician and finished my MSc on a part time basis. Ten years later I undertook a PhD in Public Health and moved into academia full time, becoming a Lecturer in Public Health in 2021.
