She is inspired by the incredible parent partners, self-advocates and champions in this field and understands the need for collaboration and persistence to improve outcomes and affect change for the future.

Prior to working with adults with developmental disabilities, she managed a resource center and worked in organizational development at JFNA. Allison received a B.S. in psychology from the University of Florida and a master's degree in clinical social work from Fordham University.
