Alison was born and raised, and continues to reside in Virginia Beach. She graduated from Longwood University with a Bachelor's of Science in Criminal Justice. She hopes to get her Masters in Crime Scene Investigation at George Mason University in the Fall with the plan of becoming a CSI Photographer.

Ali has been a continued supporter of Connect With a Wish since it was founded, which she interned with us in Summer 2021. She was granted a job shortly after as the Program Manager for our Connect to Careers Program! She is grateful for all the opportunities that this work has brought to her and also getting to help our community on a daily basis.

She enjoys photography, going to the beach with friends during the summer, walks with her dog, Kingsley, eating ice cream, and LOVES iced coffee!
