Allison is a compulsive social commentator, café critic and has become perversely engrossed in developing a taxonomy of the contemporary hipster – her home town is Melbourne after all. A graduate of La Trobe University and the University of Melbourne, she has spent the last decade in education both teaching students and other teachers. With some well deserved long service leave up her sleeve, Allison is currently traveling the Americas watching, listening, researching and pondering all things interesting – to her at least.
