Welcome! Dig into this week's DataFam Roundup—a weekly blog that brings together community content all in one post. As always, we invite you to send us your content—and the DataFam content from your peers that have inspired you! Find the content submission form here. 

Community Highlight

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. 

Daphne Georgiou, BI & Analytics Assistant Lead at Deloitte Greece
Thessaloniki, Greece

Daphne Georgiou is a BI & Analytics Assistant Lead at Deloitte Greece. She got started with Tableau through work and believes that Tableau Public was an important part of her learning journey. Daphne took advantage of the ability to download workbooks and began exploring both basic and advanced charts, and since she believes that learning Tableau is an ongoing process, she stays involved by participating in community projects such as Workout Wednesday and through the Athens Tableau User Group.

As part of the Athens Tableau User Group, Daphne has been involved as an attendee but also a speaker. She found that the main advantage of joining a Tableau User Group is connecting with like-minded individuals in the same space and sharing knowledge and experiences. Outside of the Tableau Community, Daphne is also involved in other initiatives like Data Visualization Society mentorship program, where she serves as a mentor to aspiring data analysts.

Connect with Daphne on Linkedin and Tableau Public.
