Biography

As a member of the Tableau Analytics Team, Erin Gengo (Class of 2009) helps her company see and understand their data in new ways. After graduating with her BA in Geography, she completed a Master of Public Affairs (MPA) from the Evans School at UW in 2013. Before beginning her work at Tableau, Gengo held a variety of positions, including public sector consulting work and an internship with the United States Census Bureau in Washington, DC. She attributes a great deal of her professional success to her undergraduate education in Geography.  Specifically, Gengo’s training in Geography equipped her to employ scientific frameworks to ask a research question, as well as gave her the tools to conduct research, collect data, and answer important questions. Beyond data, she notes that, “Geography sparked and fed my love of place and built environment, and gave me a better understanding of the social, economic, and environmental factors shaping Puget Sound and beyond.”
