Allison sits in the very highest tier of my accomplished alumni, distinguished not only for her breadth of domestic and international experience, but for her character and passionate commitment in the service to others. She was the first in her family to gain a university degree, nourished by wonderful parents, and was known by her student peers as one of the most generous and thoughtful of people. Her intellectual curiosity, clearly marked her for great accomplishments. She is a person of great character and integrity, who unfailingly in her collaborative efforts within EPIIC and in her individual research, demonstrated both her great respect for team efforts and her academic rigor.
