Allie is a faculty librarian at Portland Community College, where she wears the User Experience and Outreach Specialist hats—although she very nearly ended up with the job title “resident nerd”. Since Fall 2007 she has taught 2777 students for 10480 minutes in 141 different classes and workshops. Allie’s favorite classroom moment came last year when a student enthusiastically shouted, “What’s up lady? High five, I just found a peer reviewed article!” from the back of her classroom.

Professional passions include exploding existing library instruction models; incorporating zombies, mermaids, and mummies into instruction; marketing (with and without social media); and exploring virtual reference outside of the mainstream channels. Off-duty passions include robots, crochet, photography, and roller skating.
