Empowering and Connecting Women in Data.

As we close out 2025, I’m taking a moment to reflect—not just on this past year, but on the incredible five-year journey that has been Her Data. What began as a simple vision to empower and connect women in data has blossomed into a thriving, vibrant community—a collective force fueled by curiosity, creativity, and courage. If you want to grow your career, yes, it’s important to sharpen your skills—but just as crucial is growing your community. The people you surround yoursel

Sometimes the hardest part of creativity isn’t starting — it’s knowing when to pause, when to put a project on the shelf, or even when to walk away. In this post, I share my journey with unfinished work, why I’ve learned to embrace the projects that never quite made it to the finish line, and how “failing forward” has become a crucial part of my creative process. If you’ve got a shelf full of half-done ideas, this one’s for you.

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m feeling incredibly thankful for what has been an unforgettable year — both professionally and personally. This year marked some career highs for me: I was honored to place in the top 10 at Iron Viz, and even more humbling, I was named both a 2025 Tableau Ambassador and a Tableau Visionary.

Continuing my #VizinProcess! 🎨 Added more data and experimenting with a dual axis to capture movement in my Geometric Animation. Still messy, still fun—ideas welcome!

Join me as I build the foundation for a new geometric animation! In this behind-the-scenes update, I’m plotting circles, tweaking spacing, and experimenting with time and color layers to bring motion to life. It’s messy, fun, and full of happy mistakes—watch how the data evolves from rough dots to a dynamic design.

A recent conversation among data-visualization practitioners kept returning to two themes that define every great dashboard: purpose and...

Makeover Monday is more than a weekly data challenge—it’s a chance to practice, grow, and be part of a supportive community. In this post, I reflect on my journey from early vizzes to today, highlight the growth I can see in my Tableau Public profile, and introduce my new video series: Watch Me – Makeover Monday.

Data and reading might seem like an unlikely pair, but with Libby and a little help from Tableau, I’ve found a way to bring them together. In this post, I share a few of my favorite tips for getting the most out of Libby—and how I’m using a dashboard to track my own reading journey while connecting with the book-loving community.

Lately, I’ve been creating in Tableau not to analyze—but to draw. I started experimenting with polygons, shapes, and layers, recreating patterns I saw in Bauhaus art or on Pinterest. It became a joyful, unexpected outlet. No KPIs, no dashboards—just creativity. Now I’m turning it into a weekly practice. Each week, I’ll share an image that inspires me and a Tableau piece I created from it. If you’d like to join me.
