Allie Allgeyer
Alumni Relations Coordinator at University of Arizona
Available for new opportunities ┃ Recent Master's graduate experienced in Controlled Environment Agriculture, Product and Project Management, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing.
Sustainability was always at the core of all my ambitions. 

When I learned how much of our planet’s fresh water was dedicated to in-field agriculture, how pesticides and herbicides in the industry caused massive dead zones only hours from my hometown, how produce like lettuce is often transported 1,500 miles across the country…. I had a small meltdown, then I snapped out of it and decided I wanted to pursue a career fixing these problems. 

My B.S. in Agriculture Operations Management from the University of Florida and my P.S.M. in Controlled Environment Agriculture from the University of Arizona have laid a foundation for me to begin acting. 

Four years of plant science research have familiarized me with a multitude of crops (ornamentals, leafy greens, and LOTS of tomatoes). I have built hydroponic systems, including irrigation and environmental control monitoring systems, and grappled with nutrient management in closed loop hydroponics extensively. Pest ID and risk mitigation, nutrient management, crop scheduling, and scientific writing are all skills my experiences have taught me. 

The innovative side of me has also allowed me to explore my entrepreneurial potential in conjunction with my passion for the environment. While completing my Master's, I co-organized an Earth Day event to create a platform for community members to share ideas for solving the U.N.’s top 17 sustainability goals. An outcome from this was the seed of an idea for a non-profit using controlled environment agriculture to increase food access in undeserved communities. My business partner and I were accepted into the Forge Business Incubator program where the idea was developed into a start-up preparing to hire on new employees and purchase our first prototype. We eventually determined it was the wrong time for us to launch, but took away innumerable lessons about food deserts, crowdfunding, pivoting, pitching, and validating a business concept. In addition, I volunteer with and advise for a start-up called #UNLITTER (unlitter.org), who's goal is to increase awareness around environmental injustices. 

I would love to connect, whether it be over job opportunities, similar environmental passions, discussing our food systems in America, or your mutual love for hula hooping (I can’t be the only one).
