Allison was Director of HR at Perforce, she joined the company 12 years ago and led Perforce to four “Bay Area Best Places to Work” titles. Thanks to the many girl geeks at Perforce, this recovered English major now plays with Arduino, knows the difference between java and javascript, and that FreeBSD is not a political movement. In her spare time, Allison is the occasionally devoted mother to two occasionally grateful teenagers. She spends a lot of time creating small-scale, complex projects for Burning Man. Commonly referred to as the “Glitter Director”, Allison profoundly believes that everything really is better with glitter.
