About
Allyson here!
As technology grows and changes, I want to be right there with it. I'm someone who has always worn many "hats," and I wouldn't want to have it any other way. I graduated from the University of Florida with my M.A. in English, with specialties in digital platforms, children's media, video games, and pop culture. My undergraduate minors included classics and religion. I've learned by dabbling all over, and I look forward to learning even more.
I thought I wanted to be a professor, but I left academia to pursue better means of communicating professional and complex ideas with the public — i.e. digital research, streaming, social media, and public-facing blogs & forums. My work has always included accessibility and the user experience at its core, and I flourish when incorporating this all into my day to day. I love doing the nitty-gritty work to challenge our current modes of communication and further promote empathy and interpersonal interaction.
