Omokehinde Ayodeji, Data Analyst
Rivers State, Nigeria

Omokehinde Ayodeji is a data analyst who uses Tableau to simplify complex economic data into actionable insights. She got started with Tableau in her final year as a chemical engineering student through an internship. Seeing the potential for data analytics in the energy, oil, and gas industries, Omokehinde started to explore data analytics on her own. Although there was a steep learning curve with Tableau, resources like Tableau Public and content created by the Tableau community was instrumental in her journey.

Today, Omokehinde is deeply engaged in many parts of the Tableau community. She not only shares her visualizations on Tableau Public, but she also writes blogs, and participates in the community challenges. Additionally, she leads the Lagos Tableau User Group, where she focuses on building a local data community for the Nigerian DataFam through events, open discussions, and collaboration opportunities.

Connect with Omokehinde on Linkedin, X, Tableau Public, and on her blog.
