Alison is committed to always trying to understand those around her and approach them with compassion and empathy. This drive led her to study psychology as it seeks to appreciate how people think, behave, and feel. As such, Alison earned her B.A in psychology and German studies from Wheaton College in Massachusetts and then her M.A in psychology at William James College. She is excited to support students in their academic and personal goals, as well as see them progress throughout their collegiate career. 

During her down-time, Alison enjoys reading, writing, any kind of craft (she’s not picky which), and dancing.
