I wanted a fun dataset to use as I made my way through the book, so I decided to use every line from The Office. https://www.jennadallen.com/post/a-shiny-app-to-visualize-and-share-my-dogs-medical-history/ Mon, 16 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 jallen1006@gmail.com (Jenna Allen) https://www.jennadallen.com/post/a-shiny-app-to-visualize-and-share-my-dogs-medical-history/ As a digital nomad traveling with 2 dogs, keeping track of all their medical and vaccine records has been challenging.

I’ve been taking a lot of datacamp courses lately and wanted to put what I learned about the tidyverse into action. This project has a lot of data manipulation and cleanup tasks, so I thought it would be a good candidate to convert what I did in grad school to R and MySQL. https://www.jennadallen.com/page/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 jallen1006@gmail.com (Jenna Allen) https://www.jennadallen.com/page/about/ I’m a Data Reporting Analyst at Candid, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to do it. I love thinking creatively and using the statistical programming language R to find actionable insights. In addition to analyzing and visualizing data in R, I find it particularly satisfying to use it to automate manual tasks such as reporting. I love to use my analytic skills for good, and I am thankful to work at Candid where I get to do meaningful and socially impactful work. https://www.jennadallen.com/page/resume/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 jallen1006@gmail.com (Jenna Allen) https://www.jennadallen.com/page/resume/ .column-left{ float: left; width: 50%; text-align: left; list-style:none; } .column-center{ display: inline-block; width: 25%; text-align: left; } .column-right{ float: right; width: 25%; text-align: right; } h3 { font-weight: normal; } .image-edu { float: left; width:22%; margin-left: -90px; } .image-exp { float: left; width:22%; margin-left: -180px; } .image-cert { float: left; width:30%; margin-right: 2em; } Professional Profile I am a data analyst who loves using my programming skills to creatively solve problems.
