Kawaljeet Kaur Cheema, Senior Analytics Consultant
Toronto, Canada

Kawaljeet Kaur Cheema is a Senior Analytics Consultant. She began using Tableau in her first role as a Junior Data Analyst, and through resources like YouTube videos and Tableau Public, Kawaljeet continued her learning journey and became more familiar with members of the community. Now, Kawaljeet is involved in the community through co-leading and presenting at Tableau User Groups, sharing solutions on the Tableau Forums, sharing vizzes on Tableau Public, and participating in community projects.

When Kawaljeet moved to Canada in 2023, she was keen to continue to connect with the Tableau community and other data enthusiasts, so she attended a Toronto Tableau User Group event in person, which kicked off her continued engagement with the group. She enjoys that TUG events provide a space for connection, meeting new people, and exchanging ideas. In the future, Kawaljeet is excited to explore Tableau’s integrations with AI and advanced analytics and she hopes to inspire the DataFam with her work. 

Connect with Kawaljeet on Linkedin and Tableau Public.
