ABOUT

Alison Lietzenmayer is a dedicated Communication instructor currently focused in organizational communication and instructional communication scholarship and faculty development. She has partnered with leading scholars to support research in family communication and work-life communication topics. Alison is an expert at integrating theory into practical and actionable training. She is a passionate advocate of intersectional activism and community mutual aid.

Alison grew up in Virginia Beach, VA and lived throughout Hampton Roads, VA before moving to Seattle, WA. She’s a world traveler (that actually hates to fly) but enjoys exploring and always travels with sunscreen. Always up for kayaking, boating, or birding, Alison can sometimes be convinced to go hiking. Alison is always ready to catch a baseball game (Go Mariners!), a concert, or try a new brewery.

"Above and Beyond", facilitated by Alison Lietzenmayer was my favorite session because it incorporated sociological and feminist concepts in regards to how we communicate our talents and skills online and in every day life. So many of us could relate to downplaying ourselves in resumes, online, or in interviews to avoid negative perceptions. Through authentic, interactive coaching Alison guided us to make human centered connections between our personal and professional identities through an online, ePortfolio environment.
