About Me

My name is Allison Smith. Some ways I spend, or have spent, considerable amounts of time are:

  • Practicing as a physical therapist assistant
  • Directing the research of Animal Charity Evaluators
  • Learning and teaching math
  • Serving on the board of Animal Charity Evaluators
  • Learning about physical therapy
  • Learning to perform on the tightwire
  • Petting cats
This blog was originally about math. Now it is not about any particular topic.
