Missouri, USA

Felicia Styer is the Associate Director of Analytics Solutions at Playfair Data. Felicia stays involved in the Tableau Community through answering questions on Reddit, Twitter, and the Tableau Forums. 

Each platform provides unique benefits and challenges, according to Felicia, which is why she chooses to participate in different ways. Felicia likes that the Tableau Forums offer an official place to ask and answer questions, Twitter is active and a great place to connect with the community, and Reddit allows easy navigation and questions are not as easily missed. Helping others directly through these platforms allows Felicia to foster individual connections which has a more meaningful impact to her. 

Felicia began her Tableau journey in 2016 through work where she accepted a position without any prior experience. She got involved with community projects including: Makeover Monday, Workout Wednesday, and Bronson Shonk's Challenge Workbook through which she immediately fell in love with Tableau. 

Tableau 365 is Felicia’s current project: a personal challenge to answer 365 questions in 2023. Follow her progress on Twitter

Connect with Felicia on LinkedIn, Twitter, Tableau Public, and on the Tableau Forums
