Alison was born and raised in Florida and enjoyed a Geneva School education from kindergarten until her graduation in 2015. She studied hospitality management at Florida Gulf Coast University with the intent of going into club management, but God had other plans! Alison welcomed her daughter, Ava, in September of 2018; soon after Ava’s birth, Alison began nurturing young hearts at Willow Creek Preschool, working her way up to lead teacher during her four years there. Alison loves watching young students grow in body, mind, and spirit, and she especially enjoys hearing their insightful and often hilarious candid conversations with each other.

In 2023, Ava entered Mrs. Stewart’s K4 class at Geneva. As Alison witnessed Ava’s growth in academic accomplishments, social skills, and her knowledge and love for Jesus, she dreamed of one day returning to Geneva as a staff member. In 2024, that dream came true, and Alison currently serves as a K4 aide. She aspires to serve with the same dedication, love, and joy she and Ava have both experienced as students at TGS.

In her spare time, Alison loves creating with her Cricut, spending time with her large, extended Florida family, and visiting Disney parks with Ava.
