Anna Clara Gatti, Data Analyst @ Lightcast
Bergamo, Italy

Anna Clara Gatti is a Data Analyst at Lightcast. She got started with Tableau through work but has worked to build her personal profile over the last year using Tableau Public and community projects. In addition, Anna Clara utilizes the community forums to deepen her knowledge and find solutions to specific problems while working on real projects. She primarily engages with the Tableau community through Linkedin, where she shares projects she has completed as well as insights she has gained.

On Tableau Public, Anna Clara gets her inspiration from a variety of sources. She enjoys seeing the creative ways that other members of the community visualize their data on Linkedin and Tableau Public, both of which spark new ideas for her. Anna Clara also enjoys focusing on topics of interest to her, such as demographic issues, given her background in demographic statistics. She is always keen to find ways to present these insights in a way that’s both engaging and meaningful.

Connect with Anna Clara on Linkedin, X, and Tableau Public.
