From: Shannon Pileggi


As far as the job search goes, I haven't found the right fit yet. Now I am focusing more on fully remote companies. In the meanwhile, I am starting to do some side projects to keep me active and build an online presence. So hopefully my new blog will launch next week! And I plan to get on twitter as well - I'm a bit scared of that! I've been reading up on twitter etiquette so hopefully I don't do anything dumb.

You might be thinking

something like...

Mara Averick, rstudio::conf(2018)

Contributing to Tidyverse packages

but contributing can be more
than packages, pull requests,
and issues!

online interactions were hard for me at first

asking questions was hard

once i plugged into and really started engaging with people on slack & twitter, and giving back, i started to grow

more connected to RLadies than before
