To recognize new and consistent Tableau contributors—we’re excited to have a section within the weekly DataFam Roundup called the Tableau Community Highlight. Find out how to get involved.
Sadia Ahmed, Data Visualization Expert
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Sadia Ahmed is a Data Visualization Expert. She first found Tableau Public in 2021 and was intrigued with the talent she saw in the vizzes published. In parallel, Sadia was also looking to pivot her career into data analytics and data visualization proved to be the perfect addition to her skillset. She began connecting with Tableau Ambassadors, asking them about their Tableau learning journeys as well as using content created by the community on YouTube, as well as community projects to build her knowledge base.
Now, Sadia is involved in the community in a variety of ways including publishing vizzes on Tableau Public, attending and speaking at Tableau User Groups, and she runs a training program at work to help her colleagues improve their data visualization skills. On Tableau Public, Sadia gets inspiration from trending vizzes as well as on X. She considers her vizzes the accumulation of her knowledge and the inspiration she has gotten from all the great work that other members of the DataFam have done.
Connect with Sadia on Linkedin, X, and Tableau Public.
