When I finished my MSc I had every intention of steadfastly pursuing a career in my field of research- human factors/cognitive engineering. However, partly out of an unexpected love for the field, and partly out of a fully expected love for paying my bills, when my first opportunity as a digital performance analyst popped up, I was hooked. I might end up a data life-er.

Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work in many areas related to data and tech – Analytics, compliance risk, privacy and a few stints in data governance, including my current position as a Data Governance Lead. Be that as it may, regardless of how technical my positions may get, I still find ways to apply a lens of industrial psychology and human centred design to what I do – technology changes a lot faster than the behaviour of the people powering it.
