Kingston is just a 30-minute train journey from central London, where you can access a wealth of additional libraries and archives.

These include the British Library and the Institute of Engineering and Technology. Being given the chance to become one of the few black women entering the tech field is a significant achievement, especially given the lack of diversity in the field. The support from lecturers, the resources, the workshops and the diverse motivated classmates have made it easier.

I'm excelling in the course and I’m incredibly grateful that the scholarship gave me the chance to pursue my passion. Transitioning from biomedical science to data science was a challenge I never expected to take on, but here I am, and I'm forever thankful for the opportunity!
