Phyllis Tay, Data Analytics Manager
Singapore

Phyllis Tay is a Data Analytics Manager. Her journey with Tableau began when she attended a workshop, quickly realizing its potential as a "game changer" for descriptive analysis. She primarily learned through Tableau's free online videos, supplementing her knowledge with blogs and the Tableau Forums when encountering challenges. Phyllis continued to develop her skills by participating in data visualization competitions, including placement in the top 15 in Iron Viz 2023 and competing in Singapore's public service data visualization events.

Now highly involved in the Tableau Community, Phyllis is a co-lead of the Singapore Tableau User Group. This involvement is driven by the strong friendships formed with her fellow co-leads and the strong community they've cultivated within the Singapore DataFam. Phyllis’s inspiration for Tableau Public vizzes comes from many different sources, including tips from Tableau Conferences and "Viz of the Day" vizzes. Beyond the Singapore Tableau User Group, Phyllis has shared her expertise by presenting on topics like building recommenders using Tableau and having her vizzes featured in the Viz Gallery at Tableau Conference.

Connect with Phyllis on Linkedin and Tableau Public.
