Allison Hawxhurst

Marketing/Advertising Project Manager

After graduating from New York University with a BA in Psychology, Allison started her career conducting behavioral pharmacology research at New York University Medical Center. She later joined The Rockefeller University Clinical Research Center, where she recruited volunteers, wrote grants, and edited research articles. She moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2000 and worked in the information technology arena in the areas of operations and marketing. In 2004 she joined PLoS because she believes that the open exchange of scientific information, now possible through the Internet and its ability to connect researchers worldwide, will speed the advancement of science and progress toward finding cures to disease. Allison works closely with the PLoS marketing, executive, and journal teams, as well as coordinating activities of the Board of Directors. In her free time she is an avid promoter of local arts and community events.
