Eliza Hokanson is a Tableau/Alteryx Consultant at The Information Lab in New York City. While working as a program manager for a translation company, she discovered that her favorite part of the job was digging into the reporting numbers. She found ways to use data to make her team happier, more equitable, and more productive. She wanted to keep learning and subsequently enrolled in a data analytics bootcamp and was introduced to Python, SQL, and Tableau. After being introduced to Tableau, she started creating projects for fun, which led to tutoring and contract opportunities, which all helped her continue to learn and explore the world of data analytics.
Outside of work, Eliza reads books by authors from as many countries as possible, tries to keep her dog from eating too many street snacks he shouldn't, and researches her next hiking trip.
