Allison Daugila is a MA student in the Digital Humanities program at the CUNY Graduate Center with focus in Digital Pedagogy. She holds a Bachelors degree in Media Studies from Hunter College and has spent many years creating and facilitating trainings of all kinds for tech companies. Allison’s passion for teaching stems from her youth which was filled with dance and musical performance, which ultimately led her to a decade long teaching stint for Apple. This is where she first became obsessed with software studies, human-computer interaction and accessibility. Allison has a great deal of experience working with people of all ages, abilities and cultural backgrounds and is a professional group fitness instructor. Allison is an ambassador of accessibility in her day to day life, whether that is in technology, fitness or food! Provided that Allison is dedicated to supporting her community as a whole, she functioned as the lead outreach for the Community Fridge Archive where she was able to put her digital media skills and warm personality to use in order to promote awareness and raise funds for this incredible project. She also supported the development of the site overall in Omeka where she took a fine tooth comb and ensured the platform was accessible by all (or most) human beings.
