Ash graduated from university at Cardiff University with a degree in French and Politics. While not a quantitative field, her studies sparked an analytical curiosity that was further developed during a work placement in the south of France at a primary school, where she headed up an English immersion programme.
After graduating, Ash spent just under a year working in business operations at a chartered surveying firm, where she was responsible for streamlining workflows, improving reporting, and increasing overall efficiency.
She first discovered Tableau through the application process for The Data School, which is where her interest in data analysis truly began. Ash enjoyed the process of drawing conclusions from the data she was presented and is now looking forward to developing her technical skills and honing her dashboard design abilities throughout her time at The Data School.
Outside of work, she enjoys discovering new restaurants and baking.
