Lucy Fraser Edmans graduated with an MSc Big Data. ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãing at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã helped her change her career trajectory and become a Data Science Lead for Forth Point A Blend360 Company.

Becoming a data scientist

After I left university, I worked a few jobs and I was very frustrated at how they weren't getting the most from their data and I wanted to do more. I wanted to do coding and get more insights out of it. So I ended up studying at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and now I'm a lead data scientist at Forth Point A Blend360 Company.

I enjoy the variety of the role

Predominantly I'm responsible for the technical solutions that we work on with our clients. I also work on new business proposals and pitches. We work with our clients to help them solve business challenges and to drive value. A lot of it is using communications skills as well to help clients understand those technical solutions that we deliver.

I love that my role varies day to day. One day you'd be working at the Quayside in Aberdeen and another day in a factory in Hungary.

My time at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã

My fondest memory at the university was being there in the first week and that buzz of being in a room and learning about data science. It was just really exciting. Different parts of  course helped with where I am now in my career.

If I were to give my younger self some advice, it would be to just do it. ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãing the MSc Big Data gave me opportunities to apply for jobs that have definitely changed my career trajectory.
