She earned her degree in Music Therapy with a minor in Psychology from Temple University and holds a certificate in American Sign Language. Alison is excited to bring her skills, creativity, and passion for expanding access to music therapy services to northwestern Wisconsin.

She completed her clinical internship at the Young Children's Center for the Arts in Philadelphia, specializing in early childhood development.
