About

After developing my project management and investigation skills in Market Research, I’ve spent the last 5 years of my career as a part of the Tableau and Data Analytics community. During this time, I have become expert in the software, data analytic techniques, as well as growing my teaching, public speaking, communication, resourcing and management skills.
