Hi, I’m Alison.
I strive to bring words to life that drive action. Guided by a passion for honest and captivating data-driven journalism, I aim to elevate marginalized perspectives, establish trust, and create a tangible impact. I envision a career exposing injustice, wherever it lies, as an investigative reporter.
Through my work at the Connecticut Health Investigative Team, The Daily Campus and The Monroe Sun, I tell intimate stories that balance human connection with compelling statistics and photographs. Along with my journalism training from the University of Connecticut, I allow my additional education in sociology and women, gender and sexuality studies to inform my reporting.
I am a communicative team player and creative problem solver who works well with people and numbers. As a researcher, I am committed, timely and independent. When something piques my interests, I find time to pursue new avenues and see where they lead. I am excited to explore opportunities and advance my career.
