After graduating with a degree in sociology and education from Haverford College, she was awarded a fellowship by her college to work in a non profit in Philadelphia. During that year she coordinated a leadership program for teenagers in North Philly, and helped establish a social justice institute at her alma mater that provides service-oriented projects as a way to get students into Philly. After that year, she took her passion for educational change back to her home city New York where she is currently the development director for a small catholic school.

When she's not working she's blogging, hanging with her five siblings, falling in and out love, eating and laughing at things that no one else seems to find funny.

People seem to be amazed at how Allison can one minute be talking about the impact of globalization on racial identity then watching Spongebob Square Pants the next. But we are complex creatures, no?

Allison's blog chronicles her life as a recent college graduate living in a big city as she learns more about working in the non-profit sector and more about herself.
