Allison White
Allison graduated from Lehigh University in 2009 with a dual degree in Psychology and Cognitive Science. My desire to find a practical use for all that cool stuff I had learned led me to the MHCI program. Still, I would jump at the chance to spend all my time reading if someone would only pay me for it.
