Faith Rotich, Analytics Consultant at The Information Lab
London, UK

Faith Rotich is an Analytics Consultant at The Information Lab. She leverages Tableau at work to report on e-commerce website performance, and outside of work, applies it to her personal and community-driven projects. Her journey with Tableau began during a 2023 sabbatical as she explored data visualization as a potential career pivot. She started by visualizing data from topics that genuinely interested her, such as reading habits and birthday distributions. This exploration led her to discover the Tableau community, which she first engaged with at a Tableau User Group. Later, Faith joined The Information Lab's Data School, undertaking four months of hands-on classroom training before transitioning to client work.

Faith particularly values the Tableau community's generosity of knowledge, noting that whenever she encounters a new challenge, she is able to find solutions shared through blogs, YouTube videos, or presentations. This collaborative spirit is also why she enjoys attending Tableau User Groups, participating in community projects, and publishing vizzes on Tableau Public. Faith shares her Tableau expertise through blogging, driven by a desire to pay forward the benefits she gained from others' blogs, and to solidify her own understanding. Looking ahead, she is eager to supplement Tableau with code.

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