Cintra Jaggernauth, Data Analyst
Louisiana, USA

Cintra Jaggernauth is a Data Analyst. She specializes in creating interactive, user-friendly, and automated Tableau dashboards, transitioning static reports into dynamic visualizations. Her journey with Tableau began with an interest in its storytelling capabilities and the ability to create visually appealing dashboards, later appreciating its technical prowess in uncovering data insights quickly. She learned Tableau through a combination of YouTube tutorials, blog articles, and a bootcamp course with Millennials and Data, finding reverse-engineering other workbooks on Tableau Public to be a highly effective learning tool.

Cintra highly values the supportive Tableau Community, particularly on the Forums for in-depth solutions and the willingness of others to share knowledge. She has been involved in various Tableau User Groups like the DataFam Career Pathmakers TUG, Newbies TUG, and Tableau Public TUG. Currently, she shares her Tableau knowledge at work through 1:1 training and internal TUG presentations, aiming to help colleagues become more comfortable and confident with Tableau. Looking ahead, she is excited to experiment with different business dashboard styles and improve her Tableau Prep skills through challenges like Preppin’ Data.
