A day in the life of a Data and Information Officer in the United Kingdom
Data and Information Officer with experience in both Higher Education and the Environmental Sector
My career history
After graduating I spent a year working as volunteer warden with the National Trust. I then moved back to York where I began working in the Alumni Office whilst also volunteering with the North East Yorkshire Ecological Data Centre. This eventually led to me getting a job as the Biological Records Officer with the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union which I was able to do alongside my current role in the Alumni Office. However, after starting a family I didn't want to work full time and so I decided to focus fully on my role within the University.
Courses taken since graduation
MSc in Ecology at Aberdeen University

What I do
I help with the administration and maintenance of the University's alumni and friends database, and provide support and training for other database users throughout the University.
Skills I use and how I developed them
I did a lot of data analysis and statistics as part of my undergraduate degree, and this has proved really useful for creating reports and summaries of alumni data. However, other skills, such as data manipulation and data cleaning I have learnt on the job.
