Bj Price, Business Intelligence and Reporting Manager, Consumer Insight at The Walt Disney Company

Florida, USA

Bj began using Tableau in 2012 to visualize media mix modeling data. She learned the software primarily through instructor-led training and Tableau Conference hands-on sessions and keeps her skills current by attending Tableau User Groups and staying up to date on blogs and content put out by the DataFam. She appreciates the Tableau Community's willingness to share knowledge and has benefited from vizzes, blogs, and videos produced by the community. Bj’s favorite ways to be active in the community are attending Tableau User Groups and Chart Chat.

Inspiration for her Tableau Public vizzes comes from learning techniques from the DataFam, she has published over 15 vizzes exploring runDisney event race results data and, in addition to exploring other topics as well such as Basketball, the Tour de France, and other topics in popular culture. Bj shares her Tableau knowledge by leading a monthly Tableau Speaker Series at Disney and holding office hours to help users with their visualizations. Looking ahead, Bj is eager to connect with more DataFam members and share her expertise with the internal Tableau community at Disney.

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