Lara Willson, Analyst, BI Products at The Walt Disney Company
Florida, USA

Lara Willson is a BI Products Analyst at The Walt Disney Company. She first discovered Tableau in an early analyst role when she was tasked with automating reports that were previously built in spreadsheets. With a background in both design and analytics, Lara found Tableau to be the perfect blend of these two worlds. Today, her role focuses on leveraging Tableau to support HR functions, and she also uses it as a creative outlet in her personal time.

Lara is an active member of the Tableau community, where she shares her knowledge on the Tableau Community Slack workspace and LinkedIn and participates in community projects. She credits projects like Workout Wednesday, Back2VizBasics, and Makeover Monday as being instrumental in her development. This year, she is challenging herself to complete every Workout Wednesday and Back2VizBasics challenge.

Connect with Lara on Linkedin, Tableau Public, and the Tableau Community Slack workspace.
