Hi Friend,

I’m a Washington, DC-based data visualization and analytics specialist. I am passionate about bringing data to life through engaging, impactful, and accessible visualizations. This site serves as a portfolio to showcase my work and connect with the data viz community!

Who am I?

I’m Nikki, a data visualization and analytics specialist based in Washington, DC. I’m here to share my love for data with the world!

I’m passionate about data storytelling in all forms. I primarily work in Tableau, with experience in Python, Power BI, and R, and I’m actively learning how to create custom web-based visualizations using HTML and JavaScript.

With experience across the full data lifecycle—from capture and management to concise, thoughtful presentation—I specialize in extracting meaningful insights and finding the best ways to visualize them.

When I’m not nerding out online, you can find me playing single-player RPGs (currently discovering Skyrim 12 years late), trying out new recipes, or hanging out with my cat, Mr. Peanut.
