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. 

Raisa Hannus, Freelance Business Analyst
Florida, USA

Raisa Hannus is a Freelance Business Analyst. She was first introduced to Tableau through an online course where she learned the basics of creating charts and got to try out the Back to Viz Basics community project. From there, Raisa was welcomed into the Tableau Community and all there is to offer. Community projects remain Raisa’s favorite part of the Tableau community, but she is also active in other areas including Tableau User Groups and Tableau Public.

Working with data is important to Raisa because she believes that visualizing data makes it more accessible to wider audiences and with so much data all around us, it is important to be able to understand it. One way Raisa is doing her part to make data more accessible is by publishing vizzes on Tableau Public. She gets inspiration from new chart types she wants to try and other visualizations by members of the Tableau community. In the near future, Raisa is excited about participating in Iron Viz qualifiers.

Connect with Raisa on Linkedin, X, and Tableau Public.
